Internet Explorer form fill-in setting?

When using IE7 (and IE6 for that matter) on my XP machine, when I
needed to fill in a form with name, address, etc., IE would give me a
drop down with items I had typed before into a field labeled as such.
Now that I'm running Vista 64bit on my new machine I don't get the
same help in IE and I can't seem to find the appropriate option to
set. Any help??
thanks

In IE, press Alt, then select Tools > Options from the menu that appears.

Go to the Content tab in Internet Options, and select AutoComplete Settings.

Tick all the boxes and press OK.
