Outlook autocomplete file (.nk2)

Have a patron getting new computer, want to move autocomplete file (thing that gives you email address after 2-3 letters) to different PC:  (Windows Windows 7 and Vista)


On your old computer:

• Go to drive:\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
  

1. Right-click profile name.nk2, and then click Copy.
   
   
2. On the computer where you want to populate the AutoComplete list:
   
   • Windows 7 and Windows Vista     Right-click anywhere in drive:\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook and then click Paste to save profile name.nk2.
     
3. If the Outlook user profile name is different on the computer where you are moving the .nk2 file, you must rename the file with the Outlook user profile name that is being used on the new computer, after you copy the file to the correct folder. For example, if you move Kim Akers.nk2 from the original computer with an Outlook user profile name of Kim Akers, and you copy the Kim Akers.nk2 file to the new computer, you must rename the file with the Outlook profile name that is being used on the new computer.
   
4. When prompted about replacing the existing file, click Yes.
   
5. Open Outlook to view the changes to the AutoComplete list.
