Default URGENT need to Recover an Outlook Profile

I was trying to fix a connection problem in a user desktop. I removed
the user's Outlook profile and created a new one. That fixed the
problem but now she has lost all the addresses recorded in the TO:
drop down list. Is there any way to recover the list or the Outlook
profile I just deleted?
This is URGENT!
Thank you very much for your help.

Do a search for their NK2 file. If you didn't delete the Windows profile, it
will be there. You didn't say what O/S, usually it's under documents &
settings, their profile, either local settings or application data. Look for
the Microsoft folder, then Outlook folder.

Default URGENT need to Recover an Outlook Profile

Dear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your extremely helpful answer. I was able to find the
Default Outlook Profile.NK2, renamed it and got the old settings back. User
is using Win XP as OS and OUtlook 2003. Is there a way to save/export the
list of "remembered" addresses that Outlook uses to autofill the To box?
Thanks again, you really really saved us.

You can just copy the NK2 file to a location where it can be saved (network,
USB, CD, etc.).
