Hello and Welcome to TSF

Open Internet Explorer, click Tools>Internet Options, select the content tab, then click "Auto Complete..." Click Clear Passwords, then click Clear Forms. This also clears the address bar.

You can turn off auto complete or parts of it.

Web Addresses: When enabled, this stores a list of web addresses in the IE address bar, so you don't have to type full addresses.
Forms: Stores information on forms within HTML forms, where you enter data to submit to a script.
Usernames and passwords: Stores your usernames and passwords! - If you use this, remember what I said above.

To disable a part, remove the check, to enable a part, place a check by it. To disable it altogether, remove all the checks.
Note: Disabling Auto Complete does not clear the information it previously stored.
