How to recover autocompleted addresses in the recipient field?

I was wondering if there's any way move the list of autocompleted
addresses from one outlook to a new outlook, I can move the pst, but
the autocompleted list isn't included, but it must be stored
somewhere, does anyone know where?

Thanks

It's the file %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\yourprofile.NK2, where
"yourprofile" is, of course, your mail profile name. To move it to another
Outlook instance, copy it with Outlook closed and place it in the same
folder on the destination machine, remove it's read-only attribute if you
copied it by CD/DVD, and rename it to match the mail profile on that
machine. Outlook must be closed there, too. If you already have one on
that machine, be sure to rename it out of the way first. When you restart
Outlook, the NK2 file you transported should be the one Outlook uses.
