Internet Explorer doesn't save form data

[actkk]

I have been told by multiple users in our workplace that they have to repeatedly enter form data onto their computer for things like email, our workplace time clock system, and other daily-use fields. As expected this is an inconvenience and I would like to find a way for that data to be saved to their machine. I have it this way myself, so it seems like it should be easy. The problem for me is that all of the computers used, mine included, seem to have 'default' settings, by which I mean that no one has modified the settings on their Internet Explorer install in any way from how it installs via Windows Update. I also thought it might be due to other computers having multiple users from time to time (my computer is only used by me whereas other employee computers are multi-user workstations) but I asked around and found that even some users who are the sole users of their machine do not save form data. As such I'm having difficulties figuring out what might be the basis for this distinction on form data saving. One more tidbit that might be useful is that everyone is a member of our local domain. I'm not sure if that is relevant here though. Hoping to get some possible hints as I've got nothing, thanks for reading and hope to hear some good responses!

It is a setting in Internet Explorer that needs changed.

You can find instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/internet-explorer/fill-in-forms-remember-passwords-autocomplete#ie=ie-11

That being said your system administrator may have this blocked so you can't change it. If this is the case then you should contact them to discuss the issue.

Sorry I didn't mention, those settings are already turned on for all users across all of the machines I've checked, both the working and non-working machines. I guess I assumed it was implied that this was the case, but I should have implicitly stated it.

One more thing I forgot, users say this most often happens on Monday mornings, that they will log in/fill in whatever forms they need to, and afterward they will (for the most part) get through the week without needing to fill in the information again. I am not sure why this happens, there is no consistency to whether or not the machines are powered off over the weekend (some are turned off, some are not turned off).
