Select Autocomplete and untick the necessary boxes then clear forms,also clearing your internet history is a good idea also. If the problems still persist after this then maybe you are running software that remembers webpages and passwords etc.... such as Gator...

There are two types of AutoComplete that affect use of Windows Explorer and the Run box. One is an automatic suggestion, with a drop-down list of Web sites with the same letters the user has typed. The other AutoComplete feature, called Inline AutoComplete, automatically completes a line if the user has typed it before. The first feature is turned on by default, but Inline AutoComplete is not. To change these defaults, perform the following steps: > To disable the site-address AutoComplete feature 1. In Control Panel, double-click Internet Options, and then click the Content tab. 2. Click AutoComplete. 3. Click the Web Addresses check box to clear it. > To activate the inline AutoComplete feature 1. In Control Panel, double-click Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab. 2. Select the Use Inline AutoComplete check box.
