Just to break-in on this topic re: IE8 (XP)...

I have some websites that does NOT "Auto-Complete" and does NOT remember sign-in name & password. Can I do this manually and get "Auto-Complete" affecting this website?

If your browser has autocomplete turned on it should be pumping your stuff in. Depending on the browser it might wait for you to start typing something first then running an autofill once it thinks it can guess what you’re typing. What’s the browser, all of them do things a little different?

# 1. Some websites can be built to have the option to disable autocomplete on fields. This is a security measure. For example, banks don't generally allow the use of autocomplete, hence, saving password feature is also not going to work.

# 2. AutoComplete may be disabled(not likely since autocomplete works on some sites). You can check by going to Tools, then Internet Options. On the Internet Options screen go to the Content tab, and click the Settings button in the AutoComplete section. In the Settings make sure that "User names and passwords on forms" is checked.

If those obvious ones don't work , just go to this MSDN site and try the options.:
