No George, I'm not that desperate, just curious more than anything.  But I do 
like your referral of being a child.  Makes me feel ... almost young! (chuckle.)

  Hi Jackie,

   

  They are buried deep in the Registry.  If you really want to clean them out 
manually, I can point you to the entry.

  Otherwise I suspect that stopping auto complete may clean them out.  I'm not 
about the experiment on this system, even for you my dear child. (Smile)

   

  George.

  Hi George

   

  Yes it was me who asked.  I know how to do that, but what I'm trying to 
fathom out is why, when I start to type an Email in the To field, does it 
remember people whether they are in my contacts or not?  Where is Vista storing 
this information?  It isn't a problem, just that I can't work out where to go 
and clean them out.  I thought it was only supposed to remember people you had 
in your address book?

   

  Ho-hum! thanks anyway.  I guess it's just a Vista trait that we'll all come 
to know and ... accept? (smile.)

   

  Jackie

    Hi Jackie,

     

    Was it you who asked how to stop e-mail addresses being automatically 
completed in Vista's mail?

     

    Go to Options, navigate to the Send tab, and then 4th down, uncheck 
"Automatically complete e-mail addresses when composing".

     

    Close and re-start Windows Mail.

     

    George.
