Outlook help please

When you start a new email. you click in the To.. field hit a letter on your keyboard and you get a list of addresses.

it will even show addresses that are not in your contact list..

where does it store this stuff??

i need to delete this stuff. the people are not in my contact list or outlook address book.

so where does it get them from and how can i remove them? or just some of them??

Just press the down arrow to select an entry and press delete. Simple as that.

ok on that... cool thank you..

but can you tell me where that stuff is stored.. i mean they are not even in my contact list or address book?

[Admiral Michael]

I'm not sure where they are stored. Usually they are just addresses you've sent messages to.

[AOXOMOXOA]

yes that is true. i know how they get there, i just dont know where the file that contains them is.

They're stored in .nk2 files.. I think in Outlook terms they're called nicknames. This might shed some light:

I think usually they're stored in the same area your windows profile Outlook files are, like:

%userprofile%\local settings\application data\Microsoft\outlook

(not exactly that location, but should give you an idea..)
