Okay,I've read all the horrors of autocomplete not working.But nobody seems to have a solution.Why is this? It is a simple question that needs an answer.Everyone here sends us to other sites or some rediculous answer like uninstall and reinstall I.E.7. Well just to let some know that is not an option in Vista. Now for the question at hand.How to fix the Autocomplete in I.E. 7 ? This kb article

was given said to follow these instructions.
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel 3. In the details pane, double-click FormSuggest. 4. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK. There's no Internet Explorer and no Control Panel.Leaving me to wonder where would FormSuggest be? and How can you set the value to 1 if there are no subkeys to do so???????? Now I would think with all the Experienced Techs on TechNet and so on,that someone could find a simple answer. I'm just a novice,but even I can see that there needs to be a parameter set.Like making a new Dword Value (FormSuggest) but where would it be placed if there's no Internet Explorer or Control Panel? Do we need to create these also?
@ palclan: are you running XP or Vista? (note that the above-mentioned fix is only for XP, which explains dmhoo's issues of 2 years ago...)[If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.
