    DISABLE AUTOCOMPLETE IN WINDOWS 98

    Windows 98 has an AutoComplete feature built into it to help save you typing. It works in both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer, by keeping a list of the URLs or file names you type in at the address bar. As you type something new in, it will offer you anything from this list that matches what you have entered so far. (You accept the autocomplete entry just by typing the Enter key.) If you don't like this feature, you can turn it off. This is the way to do it: in Internet Explorer (or in Windows Explorer), click on the Tools menu, and then click on the item for Internet Options. Now click on the Advanced Tab. Remove the check mark from the Use Autocomplete option in the Browsing section by clicking on it. Click on the OK button.
