How to disable Auto Suggest in Explorer and Run Box on Windows

[harlan4096]

The following guide demonstrates how to disable auto suggest functionality in Windows Explorer (File Explorer) and the Run box on Windows devices.

When you type something in Explorer's location field, suggestions are displayed based on certain factors, e.g. if a file of that name is found on the desktop.

The same happens when you launch the run box on Windows using Windows-R when you use it to run commands.

ome users may like the functionality as it makes it easy to select one of the suggested options to save time; others may dislike it for a number of reasons such as never using these suggestions and disliking the fact that the suggest menu hides some of the content in Explorer.

Windows administrators have two options to deal with the issue:

1. Make a change in the Windows Registry to turn suggestions off.
   
   
2. Use the Internet Options to do that instead.
