Windows 10: Editing Outlook autofill file NK2

Some time ago I found an app called NK2Edit which allowed one to edit the file Outlook creates of email addresses used to save having to type them again in future. The file is filename.nk2.

While trying to edit my current file I am finding that although I can edit the file and save it, when I start Outlook again my changes do no appear to have taken place. I suspect that it is du to lack of support of Windows 10. There is the option to save it under a different name but then I am not sure how to point Outlook to this new file.

The program is free for personal use so not surprisingly a request fro help from the suppliers has not met with an answer.

Has anyone else used this program and found an answer. Alternatively, is there any other program around that could be used? My NK2 file has grown to some 800 plus records, but I still need perhaps 3/4 of them.

Outlook PST File Problem

That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Export everything to another PST file, delete the old(or rather move it out of the default folder) and replace it with the new PST file that you exported.

With this it brings loads of transferring contacts to take with them from their company phone. Well, this one in particular sparked a guide idea. So here it is, How to transfer Outlook contacts to your Gmail account.


Step 1: Sign in to your outlook account.
step 2 In the top left hand corner click File > Import/Export > Export to file > Browse to desired place to save your file > export. Be sure you export the file as .csv (comma separated values)
Step 3 Log into your Gmail account
Step 4 Select 'Contacts' In the subsection you will see a 'Import' button on the right-hand side. Click it.
Step 5 Browse to the location where you saved it > Open it > Click Import.
