How Editable is the Outlook .NK2 file?
Greetings,
I recently had some corruption in my NK2 file, the one that keeps track of your nicknames used so you only have to type a few letters of a recipient's name and it fills the rest in. I've read before that renaming it to something else (.old) makes Outlook create a new one which fixes the problem. It made me wonder, though, whether it's possible to edit that file in some program in case that's needed. I tried opening it in a text editor but it didn't look very friendly. Just curious. Thanks for a reply |

Not natively. There is a third party utility that lets you do so:

How Editable is the Outlook .NK2 file?
Diane,
It is important to note a significant difference between Ingressor and the nk2csv products. The latter only reads smtp email addresses, not Exchange entries. Further, it doesn't provide the name that corresponds to that smtp record. Most Ingressor customers purchase our product to edit the Exchange x500 data to sync. it with the AD or, purchase it to quickly and globally change erroneous records (smtp or exchange or fax) without the need to export, then create a new NK2 file. It will also add a record, name AND smtp address from the Ingressor GUI. However, that said, for the ability to read email addresses only, the nk2csv does satisfy the need at is affordable at the "free" price.
