Auto fill (not auto complete)

We just bought a new Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista Home Premium 32BIT
SP1, factory installed. My internet browser is IE.

I am trying to figure out where the autofill feature is. Not the
autocomplete that completes email addresses or words that I have
started, but autofill. On earlier Windows operating systems they
definately had that feature. You had to open it up, type in all the
information (name, address, work phone, home phone, etc.) and then when
you visited. Problem is, I've looked everywhere I can think of and I
can't find the feature.

Does anyone know how to access that feature (I can't believe they don't
have it in Vista). Help, please.

Depending on what form it was, IE would remember some of that stuff,
sometimes with a cookie.
I believe autocomplete had to be enabled for that to work also.

I believe you are confusing a Google toolbar feature with an IE
feature.

He is not confusing it.

It was in XP; and nothing to do a google toolbar(I refuse to install garbage
from google!)

A whole bunch of third party programs have provided an autofill function for
Windows, but no version of windows has ever had it on its own.

In IE7,
Tools - Internet Options - Content - AutoComplete - Settings
you can toggle it on, and it will remember what you type in.
But you can't enter the info, like you can with the Google toolbar.

The "autofill" program you are looking for is now included in the Microsoft
Live Toolbar. It is labeled Form Fill and you enter all the information you
want to automatically fill in forms on web pages. As a bonus it also keeps
all your sign in information (doubles the job of autocomplete).
