Turn On or Turn Off Inline AutoComplete

Turned on, this option tells Internet Explorer to complete entries when you type Web addresses in the Address bar, based on entries you've used before. You can select the suggested entry by pressing ENTER, or choose from a list of additional options by pressing the DOWN ARROW key until you find the one you want, then pressing ENTER. This option can benefit people with mobility impairments by helping save keystrokes. Users who find inline AutoComplete distracting can turn it off.
