search.  Tried Q292882 NO JOY- have changed to another
users profile on same Pc still no joy- Email messages

Tim,

The information you seek is stored in a hidden, system file called an NK2
(autocomplete cache).  The name of that file is the same as the profile
name.  It becomes populated from outgoing e-mail addresses.  If you did a
reply-to or just entered an e-mail address with no name that is how it will
be stored in your autocomplete cache.

We wrote a utility called Owtlook which will let you edit data in that file.
You can download a demo version which will let you look inside of your NK2
file(s).  It can be found at www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm.   This should
give you an idea as to how your information is stored.
