[sherwoodkiper]

does anyone know a way to copy or export outlook autocomplete email address's (the address comes up automatically as you type the first few letters) form a computer with xp with outlook 2003 to a windows 7 computer with outlook 2003? thanks

NK2.info is a small utility to view and export the contents of an Outlook auto complete file

NK2.info Project

Or just do a search in start *.nk2

Or, you can go to C:\Users\*your username here*\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and manually backup the n2k file.

First,

Windows Explorer's Organize | Folder and Search Options | View tab and select Show hidden files and folders

.nk2 file path

I was banging my head against a wall after I followed this advice and the same advice form the MS website but still couldn't get autocomplete to work in 7. I finally discovered that the file path for me was slightly different:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
After placing the .nk2 file there autocomplete worked again.

I believe the path in Outlook 2010 is slightly different then 2003. Check you are putting the NK2 file in the right place.
