Re: Outlook 2003

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your update.

The .nk2 file is saved in a hidden file (the folder "Application Data" is a
hidden file.). When you search the .nk2 file, please ensure checked the
option "Search hidden files and folders". Also you can show all hidden
files by ticking the option "Show hidden files and folders". You can refer
to the following steps:

1. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
3. Under Advanced Settings, click to select the Show hidden files and
folders check box.

Then please test to see if you can find the .nk2 file.

Please feel free to let me know if you have further question on the issue.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

However I can not find a xxxx.nk2 file.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup. Also thanks for Mark's input.

From your description, I understand that you would like to keep the
addresses appear in the drop down list when you open a new email
address
and type a few letters in the To box after you migrate the user to a
new
workstation. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, the addresses are stored in an .nk2 file which
is
used by Outlook to perform both the automatic name checking and the
automatic completion features. To save the addresses, you need to
search
the .nk2 file of the profile with the name <Profile Name>.nk2 and
then
back
it up. After replaced the user's workstation, please paste the same
..nk2
file in the original location with the new profile's name. Please
refer
to
the following steps to process:

Step 1: Search and backup the original .nk2 file.
=================================
1. Quit Outlook.
2. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
3. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View
tab.
4. Under Advanced Settings, click to select the Show hidden files and
folders check box.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Start, point to Search, and then click All files or folders.
7. In the Search Companion box, type *.NK2 in the All or part of the
file
name box: box.
8. In the Look In box, click to select your local hard disk.
9. Click Search.
10. The .NK2 file with the name of the profile that you are using is
the
one you need to back up.
By default, the file is located in the following folder in Windows
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

The following article is for your reference.

287623 How to reset the nickname and the automatic completion caches
in
Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287623

Step 2: Restore the .nk2 file.
=====================
If you would like to use the original .nk2 file in a new Outlook
profile,
please replace the <New Profile Name>.nk2 with the original .nk2 file
and
rename it as the <New Profile Name>.nk2. Then you are able to use it.

Please also refer to the following article to move an Outlook profile
to
a
new one, which also apply to Outlook 2003:

287070 OL2002: How to Back Up, Restore, or Move Outlook Data
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287070

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be of assistance to you
and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Jenny Wu

I have a client that apparently types the email addresses in
manually
and
relies on typing the name in again to see it show back up in the
TO
box.
Yes
a new one for the books. Client did not add the incoming email
addresses
into the contacts, hence no contact saved in exchange 2003.

So when I replaced her PC with a new one, and stup her Outlook
2003 to
connect to the exchange server... surprise surprise. I get a call
that
all
her contacts where gone. I plugged the old PC back in and saw
what
she
had
done. Open the outlook and new mail and start typing "T" there are
all
the
email address that start with T.

So... can someone tell me how to migrate this information over to
the
new
PC.
Does prefetch have anything to do here?
