    Hi.  I can't seem to find how to clear the "Find a Contact" drop-down box..  It used to be stored in the registry under "QuickFindMRU" but it's no longer there apparently.

    Any ideas - thanks! /jim

    Alt-HFC CursorDown  you mean?  I find it strange that the search box in the Contacts pane itself doesn't have a similar dropdown.   Ctrl-3 Ctrl-e, CursorDown.  I think AutoComplete would be handy for both input areas.

    There isn't a MRU list in Home | Find | Find a Contact as far as I can see.
    It just uses the indexer to return results instantaneously.

    What would the "indexer" be looking for when I do just a CursorDown?   ; }

    There is  - it holds at least 5 names. AFAIK, it's now stored in the mailbox or pst, not the registry, although i haven't been able to find it there yet.

    i finally found it - i think its only written when outlook closes - until then, changes are stored in memory.
