I recently got a new PC at work (WinXP Pro/SP2) and found that turning on
AutoComplete in the Internet Options of IE has no effect whatsoever. The PC
came preconfigured from our IT people, but they say that their customization
shouldn't affect AutoComplete. Anyway, they can't make it work either. I
googled through the web, but none of the remedies found out there had any
effect.
-- Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks.

Hello,

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=885180

Not sure if that would directly relate to you, but let your IS/IT folks
have a look at the document and see if it would work in your scenario, would
not recommend you changing up registry settings and such if it's is a
corporate pc, let's leave that to the IT department shall we.

What does not work: When filling in forms, drop-down box with suggested
entries does not appear.

Actually, in my setup two items ("AutoComplete In File Dialog" and
"AutoSuggest") do not appear in the registry. Putting them in by hand has no
effect.

Protected Storage service is running.

I noticed that when I create another account, everything works fine for that
account (even though the same two items that are missing in y registry are
also missing in that registry). So something seems to be missing in the
setup of my default account.

Thanks.

This may be worth a shot.

This MSKB article states that if creating a new user fixed the
problem...[[you can copy the profile from the damaged account to the new
user account that you created. To do this, follow these steps: ]]
AutoComplete Does Not Save Username and Password
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;306895

RSABase.dll does *not* exists in XP. So don't waste your time on that part.

Actually, I've tried that already. Even though this might work in principle,
I gave up when I encountered some (presumably unrelated) problems copying
and accessing some files with the new profile. Given enough time, I might
get this done, but I don't have that now and I need those files.
(Interestingly, I found that I could only copy the profile when in safe
mode, even though WinXP Pro, as opposed to WinXP Home, is supposed to let
you do that in normal mode.)

As an addendum to what doesn't work: Outlook Express can only 'remember' the
password for my email account as long as it stays open, i.e., I can log in
several times automatically as long as I don't close OE. Closing and
reopening makes it forget the passwaord even though the item "remember
password" is checked (but grayed out and not accessible).

Thanks.
