What is happening with my outlook is, whenever i reply to somebody on
outlook, his/her address saves in my contacts automatically. and i dont want
it.

because it is making a complete mess in my contact list. because sometimes i
want to contact some person only once.

i dont know how to disable this option, the option is available is Windows
Mail, but not in outlook. and there is no such plug-in installed on my
outlook.

Please help me out with this.

Outlook, part of MS Office has no setting to do this. Either you have a
third-party add in that does, or you are using Outlook EXPRESS (which has a
setting to do this and is a completely different program despite the similar
name).
 
this is the thing, i am thinking and thinking about that neither i am using
Outlook Express nor i am using any plugins, still it is doing this and i have
no option to disable it. It did ask in the beginning, but my mistake i
clicked yes. and now i dont know how to go back... to disable this option.

As I said, Outlook does NOT have this facility - never has AFAIK.
What version of Outlook are you using?
 
I am using MS Outlook 2007, it did ask about this option, by mistake i said
yes. and now this is what happening.

I'm sorry to repeat - Outlook does NOT HAVE THIS FUNCTION.
You have something else installed that is doing this - look at your add-ins.

In Outlook do Tools-Trust Centre-Addins.
 
Is it saving them in your contacts folder or do you only see them as you
type an address in the To field?

If only in the to field, it’s the suggest names feature in tools, options,
email options, advanced.
