A while back i had users complaining that they no longer had their drop down address list when they were sending email in outlook. You know that list that drops down when you start typing the name of your intended recipient? If your not using folder redirection this is how to move that list form one computer to another:
First off go to the computer that already has the auto complete list on it. close outlook and go to:
For Windows XP: “C:\Documents and Settings\
\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\”
For Windows 7: “%appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\”
show hidden files and locate the .NK2 file (it’ll prob be called Outlook.NK2). that’s the file containing the auto complete address list. Just copy this file to the same directory on the new computer (If your switching to 7 follow the windows 7 path above) and the list will be transferred! Enjoy!
