If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later then you must follow and complete the instructions given in this chapter to disable the ‘AutoComplete’ function and thus prevent your password and username from being disclosed to unauthorised users. This problem arises due to the ‘AutoComplete’ function in V5.0 (or later) of Internet Explorer which allows details of all web pages visited, including password and usernames to be displayed. This is only an issue on the computer that is used to access the Electronic C.R.F., therefore if you are the only user of that computer then no action is necessary.

STEP 1: To disable the ‘AutoComplete’ function you must first start Internet Explorer and select the Tools Menu. From this menu list you must select the ‘Internet Options’ item.

STEP 2: The ‘Internet Options’ menu should now be displayed. You must select the ‘Content’ tab from this menu.

STEP 3: At the bottom of the ‘Content’ menu is the ‘Personal Details’ section. Contained within this section is the ‘AutoComplete’ option. Click this option to show the list of ‘AutoComplete’ options.

STEP 4: Uncheck the option boxes named, ‘Web addresses’, ’Forms’, and ’Usernames and passwords on forms’. To complete the disablement of the ‘AutoComplete’ function you must now select the ‘OK’ option.
