I had two email addresses for myself in Outlook 2002 contacts. I deleted
them both. There are no entries in the address book. So there is no
apparent listing for me anywhere. Still, when I start typing my name,
autocomplete comes up with an email address for me. I have looked in the
registry and find this email address listed for realnetworks, for AOL, and
for my .net passport. Is the .net passport where this email address is
coming from? If so, can I make it stop doing that? I would appreciate any
help. Thanks.

It's in your autocompletion cache, which means you've emailed yourself at
least once before.
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. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
