I am using Outlook 2002 with Windows XP Pro.

Outlook uses information from previous received emails to AutoComplete an
address I begin typing in the address bar. These addresses have not been
added to Contacts, nor Personal Address Book.

Anyone know how to stop this without stopping the AutoComplete altogether or
where the file they are stored in is located so I can get rid of it?

Thanks
Yukoner

Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the
directions here:

To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
