Go to into the following menus:

Tools -> Internet Options

The go to the 'Content' tab and there you will see a button labelled 'AutoComplete'.

Click on it and deselect the options you don't want AutoCompleting then OK. I think the one you want to deselect is 'Forms' and possibly 'passwords'

There should be an easier way  :P

Yes, it can be quite embarrassing when someone else uses your computer.

Other person types in "A" and the drop down box reads.

Asian chicks naked
Anna Kornikova's boobs
ass piracy
etc, etc, etc
