After scratching one's head,
Walt Schlotfeldt <
[email protected]> asked this
group:
| I also have some autocomplete email addresses which are incorrect. I
| have searched for .n2k files and have found none. Is there a specific
| location where these may be stored? Apparently there is no drop down
| list of all names in the auto complete where you can delete them? The
| only place I know where to see them is in the TO line, after you
| begin typing the first letters. I have tried to delete from there,
| but that didnt work. ANy other way to delete an entry?
|
| Thanks in advance.

||
||| My dear Milly,
||| Please don't get upset.
||| Precision is not abuse.
|||
||| Control means doing what I want with the names in the list.
||| Adding to Contacts, deleting, modifying.
||| If I could access the data where Outlook has stored my recipients
||| maybe I could get some control over them.
|||
||| I gather from your reply, for which I do thank you, that the
||| recipient names list ("keyed in") is stored in .n2k files.
||| I did a search of my hard disk and found no n2k files, nor nick
||| files. My Outlook is 2003.
||| My version is French.
|||
||| Do you know if the n2k files or nick files are ascii ?
||| Do non-English versions of Office have different extensions ?
|||
||| TIA

||| de |||| Gee, pardon me for trying to help.
||||
|||| If you want control of the suggested names shown in the dropdown,
|||| just arrow down to them and press the delete button.
||||
|||| If you want to delete the cache, find the n2k and delete that.
||||
|||| If you want to add them to your contacts, use the suggestion I sent
|||| in my previous mail.
||||
|||| If you want to change the behavior, write (e-mail address removed) and
|||| put Outlook in the subject line.
||||
|||| If you wish to continue to abuse those who are trying to help...
|||| DON'T.

|||||| The pop-up list is formed from addresses that you have already
|||||| typed in.
||||| Well I said that myself in fact :
||||| "a tiny pop up list of suggestions *based on previous
||||| recipients*."
|||||
|||||| It is not derived from your contacts.
||||| Well that was near enough 100 % implied :
||||| "I can't figure out where Outlook has stored these names but I
||||| would prefer to have these folks in an ornery address book."
|||||
|||||
|||||| The best you can do is after the name has been resolved in the
|||||| TO: field,
||||| right click on it and select Add to Contacts.
||||| Well thats the best I could do to get the names into the Contacts.
||||| And if I did want to do that I would have asked that question.
||||| However that's not what Iwanted to do and it is not the question
||||| that
||||| I asked.
||||| It does not allow me to get control over the list per se.
|||||
||||| So my question remains :
||||| Anyone know how to get control over this pop up list?
|||||
||||| I would like to get a handle on the list.
||||| Delete some entries.
||||| Copy other entries into Contacts, or an address book.
|||||
||||| If you don't know, no point in replying.
