I like using the IE feature that remembers what I’ve typed into a web form field. When I start typing, it automatically drops down choices of words that I have previously typed in that field. The problem is that, occasionally, I type in something that I don’t want saved. For instance, I mis-spell a username or whatever.
The IE configuration panel doesn’t really give you any options to manage those choices (other than to delete them all). I discovered while reading the MS support site, however, that you can actually get rid of individual entries. If you go to a form field that has some auto-complete items, just hit the down arrow key (or mouseover) until the item in question is highlighted. Then hit Del on your keyboard and that item is deleted from the list. Pretty sweet! Also, if you are looking at a web form, you can hit the down arrow (or double-click) an empty field and it will drop-down all the possible values for that field.
I’m happy that I can delete individual entries. I would personally like to see at least a basic management utility for those words. IE allows you to edit favorites and history items, but it seems to be missing an easy way to manage the intellisense items. I’m sure there is a little shareware utility out there.
