Vista - Email Question

10-17-2007

OK, in Windows mail, when I start a new email and go to the TO: field and
start to type a name, it comes up with an INVALID email address that I
accidently entered (it was a typo!) a while back. Now I want to get rid of
that entry, but it's NOT in my Windows contacts. Where is it stored? How
do I get rid of it so it doesn't try and "predict" that invalid email any
longer?

Thanks!

WinMail only stores the last 29 addresses you sent to. You can wait for it
to rotate out or you can edit the Registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Recently Used Addresses]
