I have read the way to do this by searching for the .NK2 file but my computer
finds no such files. I tried to do what this article said but no NK2 file
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287623

A little background on my machine Win XP Pro, Office 2003 Pro and Outlook
2003 all legally licensed and activated online. I am not connected to a
network, this is my home machine and is only hooked up the the Net via my
cable modem and wireless router.

I actually misspelled a couple of email addresses and want to delete them
totally so they don't pop up and force me to resend emails.

Please help and thank you in advance.

If you ever used autocompletion, you have an NK2 file.
Did you search for hidden files the way the article told you to?

Download a demo of our autocomplete file (NK2) utility. You needn't buy it,
just download it and run it. If you have an NK2 file on your computer it
will find it and open it for you. You can find it at

Yes I am showing all hidden files and even showing the protected files. I
don't use a profile to sign on since this is my personal machine I have only
one profile (mine) with Admin rights.

I did however find a fix for it was just to start typing the address then
use the arrow to highlight it and just hitting the delete key worked. If you
have tons of addresses this isn't a time saving task but for me I only had
about 5 I wanted to delete so it worked just fine. Thank you for the very
quick responses I appreciate it a lot.

If you use Outlook, you are using a profile.
Having autocompletion entries but no NK2 file is inexplicable. I'd sure be
interested to see if Randy's utility can find it. I bet it can.
