AutoComplete 2003 not working right?

[\1SE\]

Address autocomplete begins to work. (Meaning) It works as long as you have
outlook opened. As soon as you close outlook and reopen it all the names in
the auto complete list are gone and you are starting from scratch.
I've tried disabling this feature and rebooting then re-enabling it. Still
once outlook is closed the list is gone and autocomplete starts to collect
addresses anew.
Ever heard of this happening?
What did you do to fix it?
Does anyone know where these addresses are stored?
What the file name is?
I'm thinking maybe this user doesn't have rights to create that file, or
maybe that file is corrupt?

Please help.

Usually means a corrupt profile, not a corrupt NK2 file. Create a new
profile.

The file you want is the *.nk2 file for your profile. In Windows XP or
2000, it's in the hidden folder C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

I did a search for any *.nk2 files and found none. (yes I enabled all views)
I am using xp pro sp-1 as an OS.
