Default How to clear old e-mail addresses?

My address book is empty, and my contact list is empty (those show up empty
when I use Tools, Address Book), but when I send a new e-mail message, on
typing the first letter of the addressee name, a drop-down list appears with
e-mail addresses for everyone I've ever e-mailed. How can I clear out these
names? .



Thanks for any ideas.

You can simply use the cursor arrows and delete them or you can delete the
file *.nk2 that is located in: C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
But this options will delete all autoresolution addresses-
