I've deleted it from windows mail contacts, and from within explorer contacts but when I type the persons name it comes up as the old email address I deleted not the new contact... How can I remove the contact completely so the new contact details are initiated when I type the persons name in windows mail..?

If you would rather not manually change the registry, there is a small utility at the bottom of the tutorial under "Related Articles".
Don't forget to Back up your registry: Registry - Backup and Restore
That is great news, I'm glad I could help!
May I inquire as to which method you used, any difficulties?
deleted them all from registry, start run,
cmd /k reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses" /f
success
