Autocomplete feature was introduced by Microsoft in their web browser Internet Explorer (IE) since IE version 5. In the earlier version, it was limited to the auto completion of web addresses that you type in the browser's address bar. The later versions of IE included autocomplete support for various things like email addresses and passwords.
If enabled, autocomplete lists possible matches for the entries you have typed before in web forms etc. It can be enabled or disabled from Tools » Internet options » Content » AutoComplete. You can enable (turn ON) or disable (turn OFF) autocomplete for web addresses, forms and user names & passwords on forms.
You can also delete previous autocomplete entries/values of these things. To delete an individual entry, select it from the drop-down list for that field, and press delete.
Hope that helps.
