In previous Outlook Express, I was able to start a name in the "To:" box,
then the program would finish it. However, in Outlook it has not worked. I've
tried the to "rename" the *.nk2 file. However, when I search for this file it
is not located. What do I do next??

Your NK2 file is under a hidden directory. Make sure your search includes
those. Typically it's under the C:\Documents and Settings\<user
name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory

Why do you want to rename the NK2 file? That will not make autocompletion
work. In fact, it will clear out any addresses you've accumulated so far
and make you start over.
