Thanks for the answer.I was able to turn off the auto fill. I don't know why they have to make this the default setting without a way to turn it off I shouldn't have to go into the configuration file to turn this off. That's just an invitation to sloppy security Might as well just leave just leave my car with the door open and the engine running Thank for your help
