Where does Outlook store typed email addresses

[Jaffacaique]

I had to have my work PC re-installed last week by IT. When it was complete I loaded up Outlook and remembered that it would no longer auto recognise the learnt email address entries when you begin to type them in.

Does anyone know where Outlook or Windows stores these typed email addresses, as it saves a lot of typing time and should my PC need re-installing again I could backup this file up before hand..???

The autocomplete list is stored in a file named {outlook profile}.NK2.

On pre-Vista machines, the file is stored in C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
On Vista it's in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
