You can save time while using Internet Explorer
by automating routine tasks such as filling out Web addresses,
user names, and passwords. With the AutoComplete feature, you
can also fill out some Web form entries automatically. You
access this feature in Internet Explorer through the Content tab
on the Internet Options dialog box.
In this section, see step by step tutorials to:

Fill in Web
Addresses Automatically
§
Fill in Routine
Form Entries Automatically
§
Fill in User Names
and Passwords Automatically
You can choose a Web address from a list of sites
that you have already visited instead of typing the entire Web
address each time you want to visit the site. When you begin to
type the address in the Address bar, a list automatically
appears below it. From that list, you can quickly select the one
you want—saving time and keystrokes.
