[Ham-Computers] IE 8 Question

[Dan Violette]

 And "autocomplete" is gone from IE 8 the way it used to be (which I miss).
Anyway, to keep from accidentally going to shady websites they removed the
old way of autocomplete and you have to arrow down and choose a site while
typing to get to something you have used before.  /Dan KI6X

Loren,

Under View/Toolbars in IE 8 there is no Navigation Bar choice.  Only Menu,
Favorites, Command, Status, Adobe PDF, Lock the Toolbars.  At the moment,
Menu, Command and Status are checked.  Apparently the Navigation bar, which
I assume is the top one in IE 8, cannot be turned off.

However, I found the culprit.  Turning off AutoComplete (which I find very
annoying) turns off storage and display of URL's that were entered.  When I
just now turned back on AutoComplete, the dozen or so URL's that show up
when I click the down-arrow button at the right end of the URL field are
ones that I vaguely recall entering three or four days ago.  No doubt just
before I turned off AutoComplete.

Anyway, your response did ultimately lead me to the answer.  When I didn't
find Navigation Bar listed in any of the settings, I started through the
Help files which eventually lead me to a clue that there was a connection
between the damned AutoComplete function and what I was missing.  Thanks.
