I also have some autocomplete email addresses which are incorrect. I have
searched for .n2k files and have found none. Is there a specific location
where these may be stored? Apparently there is no drop down list of all names
in the auto complete where you can delete them? The only place I know where
to see them is in the TO line, after you begin typing the first letters. I
have tried to delete from there, but that didnt work. ANy other way to delete
an entry?

Thanks in advance.
