Default Outlook 2003 autocomplete question

Hi,

Outlook 2003 Autocomplete list is stored in the file *.nk2 (.nick is the
extension of the file in Outlook 2000), where * would be the name of the
Outlook Profile that is been used..
The default location for the .nk2 file is Drive:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
Hence the Autocomplete list can be either be deleted by using the delete key
on your keyboard when the list is displayed or renaming the above mentioned
..nk2 file. Deleting the Cache or Cookies would actually not truncate the
Autocomplete list.

There are free utilities available which can manipulate the data in
your NK2 files.

http://www.nk2.info
http://code.google.com/p/debunk2/ (may require some python knowledge)
http://www.ingressor.com/ingressor.htm (has a shareware/demo available)
