AUTOCOMPLETE in O2k

[Ian McCulloch]

Hi

I have a user who is complaining about autocomplete for her CEO -

Can we clear this out somehow and have it populate from Scratch?

Please advise

Ian

What version of Outlook?

Is it autocompleting in the To: field when she creates a new email message?

 

[Mike O.]

Turn off automatic name checking and completion
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.. Click E-Mail Options.
3.. Click Advanced E-Mail Options.
4.. Do one or more of the following:
Turn off automatic name checking

a.. Under When sending a message, clear the Automatic name checking
check box.
Turn off automatic completion of e-mail names

a.. Under When sending a message, clear the Suggest names while
completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields check box.

find and delete the NK2 file - look in C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

you can delete single entries by using the arrow keys to select names as
they come up and press Delete.

I think he was asking about how to turn it off, not resetting the nicks

find and delete the NK2 file - look in C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

you can delete single entries by using the arrow keys to select names as
they come up and press Delete.
