I would like to edit names that outlook suggests for To; and Cc;

[Guest]

How can I edit the names that Outlook suggests in the To; or Cc; lines? When
typing in a name Outlook automatically suggests a name to enter. Some of
them are invaid and I would like to get rid of those invalid names. How do I
edit this?

To get rid of them just press the Delete key when one you don't like is
suggested.

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx.yyyyy\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
where xxxxx = user and yyyy= computer discription

And then look for the most recient *.NK2 file.

It would appear that the "suggest function" uses this file, and notepad or
wordpad will open it and you can search and edit.

However I have yet to find an editor that will allow you to work cleanly
with this file. If you find one, let me know.

Hope this helps.

No. You cannot use either notepad or WordPad to edit this file. You can only
use third party software:

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx.yyyyy\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook where xxxxx = user and yyyy= computer
discription

Or, more simply

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

which will work on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista.

And then look for the most recient *.NK2 file.

notepad or wordpad will open it and you can search and edit.

No you can't. It's not a human-readable file. Instead, use
http://www.ingressor.com/ (very good, very capable, but not free) or
http://www.nk2.info/ (rather limited, but free).
