When I go to type in a field, such as a search engine, IE automatically does a little "drop down" list of things I've typed in the fields before.

Is there a way to delete/stop this? Its very annoying!

Thanks!

Yes there is a way. To fix this go to the Control Panels. Then Internet Options and click on the contents tag. After that, you should see a button that says Auto Complete. Click on that. Now, you should see some checked items. Uncheck everything. And press "Clear Forms" and "Clear Passwords". After that press "OK". And you're done!
