Lonkero,

I am confused.

Not to say that I disagree or correct you..

quote:

Anyone come across a script that will disable autocomplete in Microsoft Internet explorer. Any help would be appreciated.

So, in my search in the Registry, we do find what Jural is looking for:
quote:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AdvancedOptions\BROWSE\AUTOAPPEND
"Text"="Use inline AutoComplete for Web Addresses"

If I am wrong, or have a incorrect interpretation of this issue, I would be happy to know.

Thanks!

Kent

Kent,
If I may... Jurals second entry clarifies it.

"I can find autocomplete for web addresses but not for usernames and passwords."

internet options> content >autocomplete >autocomplete settings

Basically he wants to clear/prevent the caching of usernames and passwords...

web addresses.. well, who cares.

Jural,

I know this may not be the complete solution.. However, it may provide some insight - http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q229940

Did not find one for IE 5.5/6.

HTH,

Kent

In IE5.5 or IE6:

Use:

code:
WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main","FormSuggest Passwords","no","REG_SZ")
WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main","FormSuggest PW Ask","no","REG_SZ")

This will turn off the auto-complete on passwords. However, to turn off the password caching altogether, use the previously stated method (in another post).

Brian

kdyer,
it's the right one.
just the same I stated in my second reply at the start of thread.
I just couldn't find it on *.microsoft.com but this definitely is the same just different source.

actually, you and doc have so much generic knowledge about these things one can only asssume that you are more than just some admins.

Those registry scanners definitely come in handy in those cases. do a baseline scan, change the appropriate settings, scan it again and compare against the baseline. I am using 'Advanced Registry Tracer' from Elcom soft at http://www.elcomsoft.com/art.html

les, went to your profile searching for photo but then when didn't find any I remembered your words: "I must be a genious!"

and that explains the photo unseen.
YOU are so old that it has faded away a long time ago!

Listen Sonny boy, back in my day they didn't have cameras. [Big Grin]
I should post a picture of myself from the late 60's. My hair was way longer than yours and much curlier.

Whew!! Did I open a can of worms or what? I actually went with a reg change.

$IE = ReadValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "FormSuggest Passwords")
IF $AVIP = "128" AND $IE = "yes"
;$IE = WriteValue('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main', 'FormSuggest Passwords', 'no', 'REG_SZ')
ENDIF

I don't know if this is correct. It works though. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

It should work fine as long as a web browser or internet property page is not open at the time the script is running. I'm not sure it's necessary to check for the value there first, though....
