Agreed! I have to say I've been guilty of it more than once, though, too, so ...

Users start an email, enter the first few characters of the contact they want - and too quickly accept what is offered! Nice to have, people will scream if it gets lost (especially those that refuse to do the time to build a valid set of Contacts for their needs!)

I don’t want to do this, but I’ve been directed to, and they’re not listening to reason. So, does anyone know of a way to do this, without opening Outlook. If I just rename/delete the original file, will Outlook recreate it automatically the first time the user sends a new e-mail?

Unfortunately, this has caused an issue with our users, as some of their autocomplete entries are using the old, now gone, proxy addresses. I’ve been directed to clear everyone’s autocomplete cache. I found a quick and easy command to do this, but it opens Outlook in order to perform the clean. (outlook.exe /CleanAutoCompleteCache). Having Outlook open spontaneously, or a second instance opening, would be very disconcerting and worrisome for our users, so I’d like to find a way to clean the cache, without opening Outlook. Does anyone have a method? For the most part, all users are using Outlook 2016, but there are a few 2013, and 2010.
