    I turned it on by accident when I first set up Vista, and now I want to turn it off again. How?

    I use Firefox, but I'll turn it off in IE and see if that's where the source is, because I selected AutoComplete when I first set up Vista.

    I think so, but I'll have a look-see anyway and find out. Thanks!
