where do i find the auto complete list

[Guest]

my create email in vista autocompletes adresses that are not in my adress book.
how do i delete these?

Those addresses are ones you recently sent to, and they are stored in
a key in the registry.
Unless you are familiar with editing the registry, I would
advise you to ignore the problem for now. Eventually
the unwanted addresses will drop off the remembered list.
If you are proficient with registry editing, the pertinent key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses

Is there some way to turn that option off?

It is really really annoying having all those irrelevant addresses pop up.

How long is "eventually"?

No, you can't turn it off, although I suppose you could do a one-time
mass purge by deleting that registry key.

The more new addresses you send to, the faster the old ones drop off
the remembered list. I think the list holds a maximum of 29 addresses.
