AutoComplete

The new AutoComplete feature uses IntelliSense technology to help save you keystrokes and find sites, folders, and documents you've visited before. Just type a partial Web address in the Address bar, and if you've typed it before, a list of matches appears. Or type a path to one of your files. Scroll to find the page you want, click it, and you're on your way. Try this in Windows Explorer, too.

AutoComplete also works when filling out forms on the Web. After the first time you type your name or other frequently used information into a form, AutoComplete remembers it. The next time you start to type your name, AutoComplete gives you a list of matches you can click.

AutoComplete pulls information for Web forms from an encrypted storage area on your computer, so you can rest assured that your private data is not available to Web sites unless you specifically give it. If you prefer not to use AutoComplete, you can easily turn it off.
