How to Remove a Single Address or Reset the Entire List of Recently Used Addresses in Windows Mail

WARNING: Be sure to close Windows Mail before doing this.


OPTION ONE:
Reset Entire List of Recently Used Addresses:
NOTE: This will delete and clear the list.

1. To Reset Recently Used Addresses -
A) Reset_Recently_Used_Addresses.reg < Click To Download

2. Click on Save, and save the .reg file to the Desktop.
3. Right click the .reg (On Desktop) file and click Merge.

3. I highly recommend exporting this key to the desktop to save until your sure everything worked right.

4. You can delete the entire key and that will reset Auto Complete. You’ll be starting with a fresh slate.
5. You can look through the list to find one that you wish to delete. To do this double click on one of the keys on the right. { | } a b c d e f g h I j k …. On the right side of this pop-up you can see the name and/or email address in that entry. You will have to look through them all to find the one you want.
NOTE: The entry may be there more than once.
