More on backing up Auto Complete URLs in IE

I got a an email from Ivan at www.cybexmag.com in response to this article.

Hi Steve,

Another useful Reg Key is the following:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Ftp\Accounts

This key holds all the FTP accounts used if you accessed an FTP via Internet Explorer.

I decided to check it out, and sure enough…if you backup Auto-Complete as I described in the previous article:

Those two FTP accounts you see in the screen shot *will* show up, but the username and password information will be missing. For example, if I visit my account, at IntelliAdmin…it is missing the username field. If I had told IE to save it, the password would have been missing too.

After I included the key Ivan mentioned above, the account usernames and passwords were remembered.

It is another item you can add to your toolbox when moving a user to a new machine.
