Where is it storing email addresses I reply to, not in contacts

Help I do not have a global contacts option that comes up. All that is
available is my outlook and the contacts. outlook is empty and contact list
is as it should be.
When I type in s, it gives me all these addresses for people that I replied
to their mail. I don't know how to find a setting to keep it from adding the
email addresses and I don't know how to find where its storing them in order
to delete them.
Thanks
 
They are stored in your autocompletin cache, a file with an NK2 extension.
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. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the
directions here:

To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:

Thank you so very much!
Next question; Where do I find the setting to teach it not to store these
addresses?

The autocompletion feature is enabled by default when you install Outlook
2002 or 2003, but you can disable it by clicking "Options" on the "Tools"
menu, clicking "E-mail Options" on the "Preferences" tab, and then clicking
"Advanced E-mail Options," then uncheck "Suggest names while completing."
Note there is a similar feature called automatic name checking which you
most likely will want to leave enabled.
