If you use Microsofts Outlook for your email, you’re familiar with email addresses populating automatically the second time you’ve emailed someone. Well, if you move to a new computer, you’ll notice that even if you import all of your Outlook data, those automatically populating addresses dont follow you. Dont worry! You just need to copy the Outlook.nk2 file from the old machine to the new one!

Usually the file is hidden, so enable hidden files and folders then either do a search for the .nk2 file or find it yourself
XP: Docs and settings-User Name-App Data-Microsoft-Outlook
Vista/Win7: Users-User Name-Roaming-Microsoft-Outlook

You can also use Nirisofts NK2Edit to edit this file, export the data or merge it with the Address Book!
