IE - Message Box Pop Up - How stop?

IE consistently has this extremely annoying box with a yellow line across the top pop up at the bottom of the screen asking me all kind of annoying questions. Once in a while the response is needed (like where to save a downloaded file) but most of the time its the same crap about storing passwords, autocomplete, and other things. How do I make these boxes go away for good?

You know I did this and I still see that stuff pop up, even though I did this:

Tools > Internet options [bottom] > Content TAB > Auto Complete Settings button > UNCHECK everything > OK


While we're at it, here are a couple of other annoyances I eliminated:

* Disable Internet Explorer message when opening Internet Explorer: Your current settings put your computer at risk. Copy this into Notepad and save as a .reg file then double click on it to import it into registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"DisableFirstRunCustomize"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"DisableFirstRunCustomize"=-


* Disable 'You have new apps that can open this type of file' nag from showing up *whenever* you install new software. Copy this into Notepad and save as a .reg file then double click on it to import it into registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"NoNewAppAlert"=dword:00000001

Thanks for the suggestion. I unchecked everything but "Browsing History" but even after a number of reboots that annoying box pops up asking if I want to autocomplete something or other. I think I am going to try Chrome.

Yes. Or Firefox.

When I reimage my system and use Internet Explorer (for testing purposes) I do get those Auto-complete prompts, there probably is a way to disable them in the registry, we just didn't make enough of an effort to find out what they are. The program options which are supposed to disable them are *not* doing it, as you have found out.

I installed Chrome about 2 hours ago and so far really like it. It has a lean and fast feel to it. So far nothing has popped up!

One problem I just noticed effects forums like this. When I log on and check "Remember me", next time I start Chrome, it does not remember me and I have to log on again. I am sure there is a fix but I have not found it yet.

If you are using it from a home computer, why is it necessary to log into a web browser?
