Editing "Auto Suggest" in Outlook Contacts

[Guest]

In Outlook, how do you delete the memory file for the “To…†box. You know how
when you type in a contact, it “autosuggests†the contact name. I like the
feature, but I’ve got some misspellings in that thing and need to either edit
it or delete the bugger altogether and start again. What do I do?

Hard to know to which feature you are referring when you don't even provide
your Outlook version. I will assume you are referring to Outlook 2003.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
