Default Please help with Auto Complete

Please it seems like when the last update was put on Windows XP that my auto
complete does NOT work anymore. I have tried everything. I went into
tools:interetoptions:content and then into auto complete settings and it is
clicked to prompt me for use.... but it does not work. I am really at a
stand still to know what to do next.

Default Please help with Auto Complete

If you are using AutoComplete to fill in web based forms
then line #37, right hand column of the web page has two
download options "Enabled" or "Disabled", click on the
word "Enabled" and 'Run' the file. This will unlock(re enable)
auto completion.

The web page is the one you were given.

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Go there and you will see that each line has a number. Go to line 37.

I used this file and now i am NO longer even asked it I want to save
passwords. It seems like the last change that microsoft automatically did,
after this I NO longer had this feature where it will save my passwords....
etc. This disappoints me as I used this feature quite often. Is there
anything else I can do?
