Default How to delete old Contacts

When I open a new window to send an email, if I start to type the
first few letters of the addresses name it pops up of course, but so
do some old email addresses of folks I've deleted off the Contacts
list long ago.

How do I get them permanently out of my system? Many thanks!

Default How to delete old Contacts

Start | Programs | Accessories | Address Book. If they are in there, delete
them. Reboot & try again.

If that doesn't do it, do an Advanced search and include Hidden Files and
Folders, and search for:

*.wab

Open each AB that you find and delete the address. Reboot and try once more.
That should do it.

If you are using Outlook, then you are in the wrong newsgroup.

Outlook and Outlook Express are entirely different programs. You will get
better help in an MS Outlook newsgroup:
