Remarks

To use ShellAutoComplete, Auto Complete must be enabled on the system. You can change the Auto Complete settings manually by launching the Internet Options property sheet from the Control Panel and clicking the Content tab, then click on the "AutoComplete" button. Make sure "Use AutoComplete for Web Addresses" is checked.

ShellAutoComplete requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater to be installed.
