I just recently installed IE 6. Since I have, the auto-complete doesn’t work. Although I type pretty well, it was nice to have some things automatically inserted for me. I have looked under TOOLS|INTERNET OPTIONS| ADVANCED TAB and the “Use Inline AutoComplete in Windows Explorer” is checked.

Anyone know of an answer?

Thanks!

Tools \> Internet Options \> Content tab \> AutoComplete button. Click to check those things you wish to use autocomplete for.

Q.E.D. That did it. For some reasons, the “forms” was unchecked…
