Copy NK2 file?
 

Is it possible to simply copy the hidden outlook NK2 file to a new computer
in order to retain the autocomplete function? Would you also need to copy the
..srs and .xml files?

you can copy it - just need to change the name to match the name of the
profile on the new system. SRS is send and receive settings - no need to
move them; xml is the navigation folders - only copy this if the disks and
folder design identical on both systems.

I have tried to copy the files with identical names, but it will not replace
the old file. A message comes up telling me that another process is using
the file. ??
