Law Practice Management Tip - February 2006

This week’s tip is provided by Paul Murrillo of Business Software Made Easy (512-451-9720). The tips are not meant as legal advice, nor binding on the State Bar of Texas.

If you use Internet Explorer for your surfing, you may have noticed that it saves information like your name, address, email address, etc. then readily offers it up when you are completing an on-line order form, application, or whatever - very handy except when it keeps presenting the wrong information!

If this is happening to you, this is how you can clear it out:

In Internet Explorer:
1. Tools > Internet Options...
-The Internet Options window appears
2. Click the 'Content' tab
3. Click the 'AutoComplete...' button
-The AutoComplete settings window appears
4. Click the 'Clear Forms' button
5. Click OK
6. Click Apply
7. Click OK (again)
That's it!

While you are in the AutoComplete window you can also:
-Turn on/off the AutoComplete for Web Addresses
-Turn on/off the AutoComplete for Form
-Turn on/off just the AutoComplete Passwords
-Turn on/off a prompt to save for Passwords
