Nereus Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 When I type in certain edit boxes in Windows, such as when searching for files, Windows automatically tries to complete whatever I'm typing with past inputs to that edit box. How can I clear these drop down lists and then switch them off? Thanks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I find the feature VERY useful, especially with long winded URL's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hello Nereus, welcome to WF.To remove the unwanted item from the list - rather than disabling a service - I select the item and press delete while holding down the Shift button. Sometimes works, sometimes don't. Try it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have Auto - complete switched off, I dislike the system trying to second guess what I want and it's usually wrong anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
