MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2005autocomplete names
I am desperate autocomplete finds the names I want when I want them. I don't want all these names in my contacts as some are simply people I speak to only a few times a year if that. I am paranoid about outlook falling over in some way and would feel much better if I had a back up of the addresses that are stored in the auotcomplete cache. The problem is I can't find this cache file on my computer. Reading other messages it seems to be an nk2 but I have no idea what this is or how to find it. Look for a file with an NK2 extension in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory >I am desperate autocomplete finds the names I want when I want them.

Autocomplete doesn't use your contacts, so don't worry about those names "polluting" your Contacts folder. > I am paranoid about > outlook falling over in some way and would feel much better if I had > a back up of the addresses that are stored in the auotcomplete cache. > The problem is I can't find this cache file on my computer. Open Windows Explorer and enter %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook in the Address field and click Go. You'll see the NK2 file there.  SignatureBrian Tillman Make certain that you have your folder and/or search settings so that you can see hidden and system folders or you won't find or see the NK2 file.
