Forms. Tick this setting to enable Auto Complete in Forms. This is fairly useful & can save time having to re-enter basic details such as your Name, Address, etc. in many forms online. Simply click into a data field & a drop down menu should appear with the required detail in it. Untick this setting to disable this feature, this may be of some use on shared computers.

User names & passwords on forms. Tick this setting to enable Auto Complete for Usernames/Passwords. Similar to the setting above this will display a drop down menu whenever you click into a data field requesting your Username, e.g. The picture below shows what happens whenever I try login to a certain site’s news publisher ;)

Select the Username as appropriate from this menu & the Name should be entered into the field, along with the relevant password into the Password field. You’ll have to log into such areas at least once so this information can be stored however (You’ll be prompted to save the Password).

A sub-option available here is the Prompt me to save passwords setting. Tick it to be asked if you want to save your passwords for use when asked for your Username in forms (When the Username is entered, the password is also). Untick this to disable this feature, highly recommended if your computer is shared & you don’t want others to get access to password secured sites.

Unticking the User names & passwords on forms setting will automatically disable both of these features.

You can empty (Delete) your existing Forms & Passwords data by selecting the appropriate Clear button.

Connections

This tab has been fairly well covered in our Modem tweak guides, although you won’t really need to go near this unless you are having certain connection issues. You can find links to our 3 Modem guides on this page. These will cover this tab in more detail.

Programs

Now select the Programs tab.

This section contains information relating to the programs to be used for different Internet related services. Using the drop down menu select the program you wish to use for a given task, e.g. for E-mail you may want to use Microsoft Outlook (If installed) instead of Outlook Express.

Reset Web Settings. Click this button to reset the default Internet Explorer settings for your home & search pages, & prompt to make Internet Explorer your default browser. This only resets these settings if you have installed another Web browser after installing Internet Explorer & Internet Tools, & that browser has changed the default settings.
