Handy Outlook Tip

I came across this today. You know how the drop down box in the email fields of your Outlook get cluttered with the name of every person you EVER sent an email to; even though you may NEVER send to them again?

I often get asked how to get rid of these annoying drop downs and I finally came across a solution today!

When you start typing in an email address and the drop down appears, simply ARROW down (don't click with your mouse) to the address you wish to remove and CLICK DELETE!. That's it, it's gone, never to reoffend!

Now, if someone can tell me how to wholesale remove them, let me know. I suspect it's somewhere in the Registry but I've never gone hunting yet. A good way to narrow the search would be to type in a bogus email address, then search the Registry for that entry. I suspect you'll find them all in one place.

Beware - Registry's can be scary - or fun - depending on your commitment to fixing what you break!
