That seemed to work. Deleted all but the Default and then tested it. Seems to have removed all the previous auto complete addresses. Still remembers new addresses also. Thanks again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/deleting-old-addresses-in-windows-mail-auto-complete#post-103 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 22:12:27 +0000 The Geek 103@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If you take a look at this registry key, vista mail seems to write to it every time a mail is sent out.</p> <p>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses</p> <p>Close down vista mail entirely, remove all the entries on the right-hand pane other than the (default) one, and then re-open vista mail.

I just tried it, and it deleted the email when I tested, and didn't come back when I opened a new email. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/deleting-old-addresses-in-windows-mail-auto-complete#post-90 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 21:06:22 +0000 mtnpilot 90@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Using Windows Mail in Vista with auto complete on. If you put in a wrong address, you can't delete it and it will show up again and again. Does anybody know where these addresses are stored in Vista Premium so they can be deleted permanently? </p>
