Peter If you have control of the machines, then you should turn off the auto complete function from Tools->Options->Content. AFAIK autocomplete is not a standard attribute even in 4.01.
If you are using XP Pro you can setup security in the Group Policy editor. This allows you to restrict access to these IE settings for certain user groups so they can't go and turn it back on.
