Have you ever wondered where Outlook keeps the hidden "address book" that auto-completes the email address as you type it in the To: box?How do you get all those email addresses turned into contacts so you can move them around between computers etc?
The Answer: Outlook keeps them in an NK2 file. There is an NK2 file associated with each Outlook Profile on your computer and it is stored in the directory Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
More good news, there is a free utility called NK2View available from NirSoft It works magic on the NK2 file allowing you to fix an erroneous entry, export, delete etc. Just download and run it. It will open your current NK2 file and you can see all the auto-complete entries. You can export them as a text file and import them into Outlook as contacts. You can also do the reverse and take addresses in your address book and add them to your NK2 Auto Complete list. JUST WONDERFUL!
Remember before messing with files that are important to you...BACK THEM UP! You will be so happy if somehow it gets corrupted and you have a nice backup file :)
