When I type an address in outlook 2002 I receive a pick list of names to select from
Some of these names come from Contacts and some from the Global address book and others from an unknown third location. I have a few names with invalid address that I would like to remove. They are not in the global address book or my local contacts. Does anyone know what/where this third source of contacts come from so that I can remove these extra invalid e-mails? Please e-mail me at wulf271@aol.com if you can help out. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your time

They are stored in your autocompletion cache. 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:
