    Hi!
    I have a strange problem with my IE when I enable autocomplete.
    Autocomplete for Web addresses is cool.
    But Autocomplete for Forms and Usernames, when enabled, DO NOT work. Instead, they cause the browser to slow down (eg:. when i check hotmails, first enter the username, then press tab twice and then enter the password. But with autocomplete feature enabled, pressing Tab sort of "hangs" the computer for a while (approx. 3 seconds) before it moves to the next field.

    So autocomplete for me, is not a time saver, but exactly the opposite.

    Autocomplete will become slower as your History folder gets bigger. Flushing your History should speed things up.
