Move Autocomplete entries

[Mike Busch]

I have setup a new laptop for my CEO. His only complaint
was that his autocomplete has to repopulate. Is there
anyway to copy over his autocomplete entries?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Busch

Copy his NK2 file to the same directory in the new installation. Be sure it
is named to match his new Outlook Profile.

Could not find an NK2 filename or extension. I'm using
office 2K3 on XP machines. Is it possible the filename
got changed to something different in this version?

No. Is it possible you forgot to search hidden folders?

You can copy the old autocomplete cache which is a *.nk2 file
(Outlook2000/2003) to the new Outlook profile. The Outlook profile resides
at the following location on the harddrive:

c:\documents and settings\<UserName>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\<MailProfileName.nk2
