How do you turn off the auto-fill or auto-text on Internet Explorer?

My computer is storing every search, birthday, address, e-mail address, etc. That I enter into Internet Explorer. Now everytime I go to mapquest and click to enter and address, all the previous ones I have entered come up in a box below. Or when I log into my e-mail, everyone's e-mail address who has used my computer, are displayed as choices. It's driving me nuts. How do I turn this function off?

    The previous answer posted will not solve your issue. What you need to do is go to Tools - Internet Options - and select the Content tab. There are five options on this tab. The fourth one down is auto complete. Click settings and another window will open. Uncheck the three boxes in there and click Ok. Then click Ok again at the bottom of Internet Options window and everything should be good.

    Try going to tools/internet options/advanced and looking for the autocomplete box. Uncheck it and OK out. May need to restart IE for it to take effect.
