I have a machine that when you click on the To: button, Outlook address book
is selected by default and not Contacts.
Therefore autofill does not work as it should when composing an email.

What is the best way to switch this so that it defaults to contacts. Its
interesting that Contacts is selected to show as an email address book. Its
just not the primary search address book. How would one remedy this?
 
You don't say which version of Outlook you're using, but in Outlook 2002 and
2003, AutoComplete works from the To *field* (or the CC or BCC field), not
when you click the button to go into the Outlook Address Book. If you have
previously typed an address into one of those fields, it should be suggested
when you start typing it again. If not, make sure the "Suggest names..."
checkbox in Tools | Options | E-mail Options | Advanced E-mail Options is
checked.
