registry

I have a script that disables all the autocomplete settings in IE6 and IE7 but with IE8 there are new settings that aren't disabled by the script. The settings are under Tools->Content->AutoComplete->Settings

The current registry keys I'm modifying are

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FormSuggest Passwords "no"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FormSuggest PW Ask "no"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Use FormSuggest "no"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete\AutoSuggest "no"

The settings that are not unchecked by these keys are Browsing History and Favorites. Does anyone know the registry settings that are associated with these IE settings?
