Default disable autocomplete password minder in xp

Autocomplete always asks to remember my passwords and I let it remember
my ebay. I've changed the password but autocomplete always enters the
old pword and then after I enter the new one autocomplete asks to
remember it. I'd like to never see another autocomplete message box
again but I'm not very computer savvy and I don't know how to disable
it. Can someone help me please? Thank you.

To remove an AutoComplete entry from a Web form, highlight the item in the
AutoComplete dropdown and press the Delete key.

To remove all Web form AutoComplete entries, go to the Internet Explorer
Tools menu, select Internet Options, Content, AutoComplete, then press the
"Clear Forms" button.

From IE Help...

To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

[[The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you
must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the
list of saved entries.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

Notes
When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove
an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing
the DELETE key. ]]
