Did this feature go away?

For the life of me I can't get it to work like it did in the Win9x stuff.

It should still be there.

Look in "Internet Properties" of IE and click on the "Content" tab. Should be a button for "AutoComplete" in "Personal information" area.

Do you have "PowerToys" installed? You might have shut it off in there.

Power toys are a set of tools, including a new version of TweakUI for XP. I can't seem to find them on the MS site. I read something somewhere that it had been taken down and they are reworking it. I put it here if you want it.

Here it is for Win98 After you install it, you access it through control panel.

I've tried all the...... Tools/Options/Content/Advanced/etc/etc/etc..... and it still doesn't work.

Did they take the feature away? Or are other ppl getting it to work in XP?

I got it working now on xp! I think that it just takes some time to start working... It turned it on after a fresh install and it did not do anything until a week or so after i installed windows xp!
