Can anybody offer any advice and/or information how Internet Explorer links autocomplete entries to their corresping websites?

I have the registry entries from protected storage but I dont have any information on how these link together?

I'd start by searching on Intelliforms and autocomplete…start at MSDN, then go to Google.

That depends on what version your are dealing with.
IE7 is HARD; IE6- is easier. There are tools and you'll have to do some crypto. It's documented - buy you'll only need the user's sid.

I have the raw content of the registry keys. I did some quick analysis and it appears that the key name relates to the field name in the HTML of the webpage.

I tested this on two webpages that I know to have been used for internet searches and sure enough the autocomplete terms popped up.

Need to do some further investigation into this, thanks for the pointers keydet89.
