Vista - Autocomplete passwords not working

05-18-2007

I'm not sure if this is a Vista or an IE7 issue, but I think it may be Vista
since I never had this problem with XP. I usually get a promp to remember
user name or passwords on Web pages or forums but thats not happening and
there is no autocomplete of the user name. I went to User Accounts in the CP
and tried to input some websites in the 'manage net passwords' and that
seemed to have no effect either. Any ideas how to get autocomplete back?

Hi AM,

Did you check these settings in IE7 :
1. open IE7
2. click on Tools
3. click on Internet Options
4. click on Content tab
5. click on Settings button under AutoComplete section
6. check the ones you wanted (last two)
7. click OK on both windows to apply
8. close IE7 and reopen for it to take affect.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi,
Take a look at...
Internet Options> Content> Autocomplete> Settings. Are the proper boxes
checked?
