automatic display of names in To Field

[suzanne]

I like having the automatic option turned on to make suggetions as I type the beginning letters of contacts, however is there a way to delete the 'remembered' names from Outlook? I sent an email to my boss and forgot a letter in the address, and naturally it came back to me, but now everytime I start to send her email the first option that comes up as 'remembered' is the wrong one!! Obviously I often pick the wrong one. I would LOVE to delete the wrong one from the Outlook 'memory'. Thank you for your help.

Assuming you're using Outlook 2002 or 2003: If you want to delete
individual entries from the AutoComplete cache, start typing in a name and
when the list comes up, point to the entry you want to delete (so that it's
highlighted) and press Delete. To delete the whole cache and start over,
look for a file with an .NK2 extension and rename it or move it. Outlook
will start a new cache file the next time an e-mail address is typed into
the To: box.

Note that if you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in
hidden and system folders to find the .NK2 file (it also helps to have file
extensions visible).
