Most of you must be aware of it and in fact, must already be using it too – but you not have been aware of the difference. The AutoComplete feature may be turned on by default, but Inline AutoComplete is not. If you wish, you can enable or disable the autocomplete, and the inline autocomplete features in Internet Explorer as well as Windows Explorer too.
Enable or Disable AutoComplete in Windows Explorer
To enable or disable Autocomplete in Explorer, Run & IE on Windows 10, do the following:
Using Registry
You can also use the Registry Editor to disable AutoComplete in Windows File Explorer. Open regedit, and navigate to the following path- Here create a new String Value in the left panel and name it AutoSuggest and set its value to ‘yes’ or ‘no’ according to your needs.
Enable or Disable Inline AutoComplete in Explorer and Run
You can also, if you wish, enable the Inline AutoComplete feature in Windows Explorer and Run dialog box too. To do so, open Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Advanced tab. Scroll down to the following items:
Use inline AutoComplete in the Internet Explorer address bar and Open DialogUse inline AutoComplete in the Windows Explorer and Run Dialog
You may see that the first option is already checked. If you wish to enable inline auto-complete in Windows Explorer too, check the 2nd option. Click Apply > OK. You don’t need to type www or .com in the Internet Explorer URL bars. To save time, enter a word, say, thewindowsclub, and press ‘cntrl+enter’ to automatically prefix https:// and suffix .com before and after thewindowsclub. This will also launch the URL. ‘Shift+Enter’ will append or suffix .net and ‘shift+enter’ will append .org. Along with this combo, if you press Alt, the URL will open in a new tab. That’s it!
