Microsoft Outlook Productivity
Use Ctrl K for Recipient Names
Type Ctrl K on the To: line, and Outlook autocompletes names from the list of recently sent recipients. If there are duplicates or name conflicts with your Contacts, a dialog box displays for you to select the correct name.
How are Names Added To The List?
Each time you send a new message, Outlook adds the recipients to a temporary file with a nk2 file extension. *If you send to an incorrect address, it is also added to the list.
Delete Names From the AutoComplete Drop Down List
Type the first few characters of a recipient name on the To: line. When the name displays, use the up or down arrows on the keyboard to select it. When the name is highlighted, press the Delete key.
How Do I Turn AutoComplete Off?
Tools, Options, Preferences
E-mail Options Button
Advanced E-mail Options
Uncheck - Suggest Names When Completing To:, cc: or bcc: fields.
Can I Edit The Temp File Directly?
There are add-ons that will do that, however, there is no option in Outlook. NirSoft has a freeware utility to edit the file.
Can I Delete The Entire File?
Rename the file instead of deleting it. This maintains the list if you ever need it again. Run a Windows search for the file. Type *.nk2 as the file to search for. Select the file and press the F2 key. Rename the .nk2 to .bak.
