If you have ever done any system administration you will quickly find that many users think Outlooks auto complete feature is a fully fledged address book, but it’s not.
A feature I thought Microsoft would look at in Office 2007 is a more robust auto complete feature set, sadly this is not the case. However it is still a nice feature to have in your arsenal.
The brains of auto complete lies in the Outlook.NK2 file. This is the place that stores all the auto complete entries, you can get to this file by navigating through explorer to…
C:\Documents and Settings\user.name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.NK2
user.name should be subsituted for the user name of the account you are using.
Basic method
You can simply copy this file to the same location on any computer, the usernames do not need to match. Then they will have the same autocomplete entries as the source computer.
Advanced method
A great utility for managing your NK2 files is NK2View from the guys at Nirsoft. This will let you import/export enteries and easily backup your NK2 files amongst other things.
