I am desperate autocomplete finds the names I want when I want them. I don't
want all these names in my contacts as some are simply people I speak to only
a few times a year if that. I am paranoid about outlook falling over in some
way and would feel much better if I had a back up of the addresses that are
stored in the auotcomplete cache. The problem is I can't find this cache
file on my computer. Reading other messages it seems to be an nk2 but I have
no idea what this is or how to find it.
 
Look for a file with an NK2 extension in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user
name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory

Autocomplete doesn't use your contacts, so don't worry about those names
"polluting" your Contacts folder.

Open Windows Explorer and enter

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

in the Address field and click Go. You'll see the NK2 file there.
