Chelo, Try Turning Off 'Autocomplete'...
Dec 27, 2004 12:06PM PST

...like this:

While in Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" in the upper left, choose "Internet Options" from the menu. When that window opens, click on the "Content" tab, then click on the "Autocomplete" button. When that loads, click on the "Clear forms" button, then UNCHECK the boxes next to "Forms". If you don't want the history for "Web Pages" and "Passwords" to be remembered and saved, then UNCHECK those boxes also. Click on OK, "Apply", then OK, etc.

Hope this helps.
