| 61491 | 2002-07-11 03:38:00 | I asked this question a while ago but could not find the right answer. In Windows ME I use search to find files, when you start typinh it auto finishes letters if you have searched before. How can I turn that off so it does not complete words, thanks | thephoenix (850) | ||
| 61492 | 2002-07-11 03:47:00 | In Control Panel / Internet Options Under the Content tab / Auto Complete Untick the appropriate option and (hopefully) your problem is solved Regards Capt Jimbo |

| 61493 | 2002-07-11 03:47:00 | I think this is all driven from internet explorer which is integrated with the OS. In Internet Explorer, From the "Tools" menu click "Internet Tools" Click the "Advanced Tab" Remove the check from the two "Use inline AutoComplete" boxes Click the "Apply" button Click "OK" |

| 61494 | 2002-07-11 04:29:00 | Tried both last suggestions, already had them unticked but unfort it still auto completes in search, maybe it always will. | thephoenix (850) | ||
| 61495 | 2002-07-11 04:39:00 | The above tips are for windows explorer and IE, assumed it would work in Search, but maybe thats hard coded? | godfather (25) | ||
| 61496 | 2002-07-12 04:07:00 | Hi thephoenix, don't know if this will help - but in xp when you search for files - once you hit seach for files, it then gives you an option to change preferences - one of them is - Turn auto complete off. I am hoping ME may be similar for you - HTH :-) | J ZEP (336) | ||

Gee Godie my head will be swollen for days, having the likes of you say that!!! ;-) LOL Lets hope ME has it in search eh!! - knowing ME it won't!! Then again you have used all the o.s's up to XP including ME haven't you, if i remember rightly, which makes me think it will just be an xp option. |

| 61499 | 2002-07-12 06:10:00 | Have to say I rarely use the search function... Just go straight to windows explorer, if that doesnt work I search in DOS command window, its blindingly fast compared to the search function for finding files. I cant say I would be annoyed by autocomplete either... |
