Transferring AutoComplete file to new computer
I want to transfer the AutoComplete e-mail address files from my present
machine (XP SP3) to my new machine Widows 7. In both cases I am running Outlook 2003 SP3. A MS online article tells me to copy the file profilename.nk2 from C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ on the old machine to the same location on the new machine. I cannot find profilename.nk2 on the old machine at this location, although there is a file there named outlook.nk2. There is also the same-named file at the same location on the new machine. Having the two files with the same name does not help, but I have tried deleting the existing outlook.nk2 file on the new machine and copying in the same named file from the old machine. However, the AutoComplete function does not work (that is, I am not prompted with the full e-mail address when i type the first few characters into To; CC; Bcc; etc. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

... Thanks, Diane. The file Outlook.nk2 exists on the old machine at C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ If you are using this same path on Windows 7, you're using a junction point and not the "real" folder. Put the NK2 file in C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Microsoft\Outlook Could it be that the files are indeed different - one named for profile Mike and one named for profile Michael? How can I change the profile name or the file name? Use whatever name you've chosen as you username on the Windows 7 machine. If tha's "Mike", then that's what you use. If it's "Michael", then use that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
