Re: Switching off the Auto Fill Function

Inline AutoComplete

[[Windows Explorer and the Run box both have AutoComplete capabilities, as
in Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are actually two forms of
AutoComplete. The first is an automatic suggestion, where you get a
drop-down list of sites with the same letters you have typed. The second is
where the line you are typing is automatically completed if you have typed
the same letters before. This is the Inline AutoComplete feature. The
first feature is turned on by default, but Inline AutoComplete is not. ]]

Inline AutoComplete
[[Turned on, this option tells Internet Explorer to complete entries when
you type Web addresses in the Address bar, based on entries you've used
before. You can select the suggested entry by pressing ENTER, or choose
from a list of additional options by pressing the DOWN ARROW key until you
find the one you want, then pressing ENTER. This option can benefit people
with mobility impairments by helping save keystrokes. Users who find inline
AutoComplete distracting can turn it off.]]
