I have a unique issue. I need to somehow export the autocomplete e-mail address in outlook so I can transfer them to a different pc. The end user is getting a new pc and never entered in these addresses into her contacts list. They just relied on autocomplete??????? Does anyone know where this is stored? Any ideas would be a big help.

How to Back Up Outlook Settings Files
If you have customized settings that you want to replicate on another computer by using Outlook, you may want to include the following files in your back up as well as the personal folders (.pst) file: • Outcmd.dat - This file stores toolbar and menu settings.
• <Profile Name>.fav - This is your Favorites file that includes the settings for the Outlook bar.
• <Profile Name>.nk2 - This file stores the NickNames for AutoComplete.
NOTE: If you use Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor, signatures are stored in the Normal.dot file as Autotext entries. You should back up this file also.
Custom views are integrated to the folders on which they were created. If you export items from one personal folders (.pst) file to another, your custom views are not maintained.
If you have created customized signatures that you want to replicate to another computer by using Outlook, you may want to back up all custom signature files located in the following folder:
Drive:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures
where Drive represents the drive that Outlook was installed to and Username represents the user name that Outlook was installed under.
Each individual signature has its own file and uses the same name as the signature you used when you created it. For example, if you created a signature named MySig, the following files are created in the Signatures folder:
MySig.htm - This file stores the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) autosignature.
MySig.rtf - This file stores the Microsoft Outlook Rich Text Format (RTF) Autosignature.
MySig.txt - This file stores the plain text format Autosignature.
