Microsoft Outlook offers a great feature with the Autocomplete. Everytime a new email address is used for the first time, it gets cached and Outlook will highlight the email address the next time you start to type the address. Outlook holds this in a cache file under your user profile on your computer.

What do you do if you get a new PC? You don’t have to lose Autocomplete.

Here’s an easy fix.

Copy the profile cache from the old PC onto the new PC under the same location.

On your old PC go to:  (replacing username with the your username)

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

The folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\  hides files so make sure to turn on Show hidden files and folders under folder options. Here’s how. Go to Tools, Folder Options.

Then select the radio botton for Show hidden files and folders. Click Ok. All hidden folders should now be seen.

When you can see the folders look for the file with the extension “NK2″. This filename will be “outlookprofilename.NK2″. On my PC, outlook profile name is “outlook” and the file name is called “outlook.NK2″

The icon should look like this:

When you’ve located the file. Copy the file and then Paste it in the same location on your new PC.

Autocomplete should now work on your new PC.
