One of the useful features of Microsoft Outlook is the Autocomplete. Everytime a new email address is used for the first time, this gets cached and outlook will highlight the email address next time. Outlook holds this in a cache file under your profile. Should you move to a new PC or a different profile, all you need to do is copy this file onto the new PC under the same location.

Autocomplete in Internet Explorer is a feature which allows the browser to remember the previous entered web form entries like website addresses in the addressbar and help you complete the form (again address bar for example) based on the few characters you typed in.

This is a great feature that comes handy when you are browsing consistently multiple websites or intranet or extranet resources. In Internet Explorer 5 & 6 this is enabled by default but not so in Internet Explorer 7.
