I'm not talking about the contacts folder or address books, I'm talking about
when you type an email address in the 'To' field (or reply to a message) and
then the next time you start typing in that address it magically appears. I
would assume outlook stores them in some sort of text file, but I don't know
where to look.

I am using Outlook XP (work) and 2003 (home).

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rusty,
no sorry, there is no programm to edit this file!
If you want to delete your autofill entries, rename or delete the Nk2 file!
