Internet Explorer 6 has a facility to store your previous entries in
the Web address bar (site URL's) and for online forms (e.g addresses
and passwords).
If, for reasons of security or even other reasons you
do not want this to happen then this short article will explain what
options are available to you:
Adjusting AutoComplete Settings, Deleting
AutoComplete entries from the Address bar list and Turning off
AutoComplete...

How
To Adjust AutoComplete Settings:
You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the
information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for
Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also
clear the history for any of these... (see Fig 1.1)
1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu,
click Internet Options.
2. Click the Content tab.
3. Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
4. Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options
you want to use.

How
To Delete AutoComplete Entries From The Address Bar List:
The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address
bar, you must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual
entries from the list of saved entries.
1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer,
click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.
How
To Turn Off AutoComplete:
To turn off the AutoComplete feature you will have to go into
another section as the option is not with the AutoComplete Settings.
1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer,
click Internet Options.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Scroll down and look under Browsing, click Use
inline AutoComplete and remove the tick (see Fig 1.2)
