Transfering to Vista from XP, how to transfer Auto Completes (repost)

Hi,

Transferred to Vista (on a new PC) from XP (old PC), but Internet Explorer
Auto Completes did not transfer.

Where do I find these settings on the old system and how to transfer to the
new installation?

Please help, thanks.

This was ALREADY answered in reply to your first post on this.

Those settings can NOT be transferred.

The entries are encrypted in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete

Reposting reply - you can't. This data does not transfer, and as Mark has
observed, the source data is encrypted and cannot be decrypted easily.
