Windows XP question

[Narrock]

A few days ago I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows, blah blah blah...

During the intallation it asked me if I wanted to enable some number-completion memory thing, whereby when you type any number in a field (like a zip code for example) it would remember that number so that next time all you would have to type in is 95 and it would remember the rest of the number and bring it up from memory. I'm now finding this to be a pain in the ass and want to disable this feature. How do I get rid of it?

Start > Search

At the bottom of the Search Companion is a "change preferences" option. Then click the turn off auto complete option.

I'm assuming you aren't just getting this in your web browser.

There also may be a registry key affecting windows explorer:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\AutoComplete

set the value of "Append Completion" to no
