Disable AutoComplete in Internet Explorer 9 / 8 / 7 / 6

Well designed web pages take advantage of this feature by naming their text fields in a way that increases the chances of lessening the amount of typing you need in a contact form, for example: just typing the first letter of your email address will bring it up, allowing you to either click-to-fill-in, or press the Down arrow on your keyboard and then Enter to use the highlighted AutoComplete value Internet Explorer suggests. Here's AutoComplete in action:
