Outlook email address auto-complete - nk2 file
I know that the autofill email addresses are kept in the OUtlook.nk2 file.
We jsut did a domain switch and I located the user's old nk2 file but she states that the addresses are too old and her new ones are not there. The date on the file was 2 years old. Is there another place that these could be save?
Thanks

Is the place that you looked for the NK2 file:
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the name of <profile name>.nk2
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the name of <profile name>.nk2

Any suggestions?
So you have check for dian.nk2 file in another part of computer or network? Did user dian use another profile? Check other user profiles.

Older Outlook keep the nickname file in a .NICK file. Do a search for *.NICK
NK2 and NICK files are hidden files. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.
