From Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options. On the Content tab, in the AutoComplete section, click Settings.

In the AutoComplete Settings dialog box, uncheck the appropriate check boxes for the AutoComplete options you do not wish to use.

To clear AutoComplete or web address history, click the General tab. Under Browsing History, click Delete. In the Delete Browsing History dialog box, click the Delete Forms and Delete Passwords buttons.
