I do not know if other language versions would have different file
extensions but I would not think so. Turn on searching hidden/system files
and look again.

| My dear Milly,
| Please don't get upset.
| Precision is not abuse.
|
| Control means doing what I want with the names in the list.
| Adding to Contacts, deleting, modifying.
| If I could access the data where Outlook has stored my recipients
| maybe I could get some control over them.
|
| I gather from your reply, for which I do thank you, that the
| recipient names list ("keyed in") is stored in .n2k files.
| I did a search of my hard disk and found no n2k files, nor nick files.
| My Outlook is 2003.
| My version is French.
|
| Do you know if the n2k files or nick files are ascii ?
| Do non-English versions of Office have different extensions ?
|
| TIA
| Alf

|| Gee, pardon me for trying to help.
||
|| If you want control of the suggested names shown in the dropdown,
|| just arrow down to them and press the delete button.
||
|| If you want to delete the cache, find the n2k and delete that.
||
|| If you want to add them to your contacts, use the suggestion I sent
|| in my previous mail.
||
|| If you want to change the behavior, write mswish@microsoft.com and
|| put Outlook in the subject line.
||
|| If you wish to continue to abuse those who are trying to help...
|| DON'T.

||
|||| The pop-up list is formed from addresses that you have already
|||| typed in.
||| Well I said that myself in fact :
||| "a tiny pop up list of suggestions *based on previous recipients*."
|||
|||| It is not derived from your contacts.
||| Well that was near enough 100 % implied :
||| "I can't figure out where Outlook has stored these names but I would
||| prefer to have these folks in an ornery address book."
|||
|||
|||| The best you can do is after the name has been resolved in the TO:
|||| field,
||| right click on it and select Add to Contacts.
||| Well thats the best I could do to get the names into the Contacts.
||| And if I did want to do that I would have asked that question.
||| However that's not what Iwanted to do and it is not the question
||| that
||| I asked.
||| It does not allow me to get control over the list per se.
|||
||| So my question remains :
||| Anyone know how to get control over this pop up list?
|||
||| I would like to get a handle on the list.
||| Delete some entries.
||| Copy other entries into Contacts, or an address book.
|||
||| If you don't know, no point in replying.
|||
