    Hi! When I write for example a B in the adress line, to send a mail to Barry, my Windows Mail do not show me the options that starts with B in my mail adress register so I can pick the right adress straight away. I need to search for the adress every time and select it myself one by one. Can somebody help me with a solution? :) Thanks Cecilia

    Welcome to WindowsBBS;)

    If you hand type Barry's address and send him an email - what happens on the next email? Does his name come up when you type B?

    Yes, it comes up the next time, but still not show any other options on the letter B, and after awhile it stops coming up automaticly

    It sounds like your "auto complete" has been erased and they you will have to rebuild it.

    As you've seen, once you type an address the auto complete works ok.

    Thanks Steve, yes I think that is a part of the problem. But it doesn`t rebuild quite well, because after some days the hand typed adresses disappear/stop coming up, and I need to hand type or search for each adress again. Do you know if there is a function I should look at?

    There are Many Applications that will Remove "Auto Complete" type infomation.

    Internet Explorer for example has a clear history type function. CCleaner is another popular app that can clean auto complete.
