[PEN-TEST] Autocomplete Function

Hi

Does anyone know where Internet Explorer stores the data from the
'autocomplete' function?  You know, the one everyone uses when they do their
on-line banking :)

Possible Scenario:

Lots of people have file sharing on their workstation at home and a nice
broadband connection.  Can someone pull a file with the list of
usernames/passwords/sites
if someone was using autocomplete?

I poked around and didn't find anything (internet options, content allows
you to clear  the info but doesn't tell you where it's stored).


Thanks

Rob
