How to Back up Your Outlook Auto-Complete List

Outlook keeps most of your essential data in a PST file, like your email messages, contacts list, and calendar items. The autocomplete list that displays when you start typing a name or email address is stored in a hidden message.

1. Check your Office version. Open Outlook and go to File > Office Account (or Account) > About Outlook. You'll see either 64-bit or 32-bit listed at the top.

   

2. Close Outlook.

3. Download MFCMAPI. There's a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of MFCMAPI. Download the right one for your version of MS Office, not for your Windows version.

4. Extract the MFCMAPI.exe file from the ZIP archive, then open the EXE file.

   

5. In MFCMAPI, go to Session > Logon.

   

6. Select the Profile Name dropdown arrow and choose the desired profile. There may be one called Outlook.

   

7. Select OK.

8. In the Display Name column, double-click your Outlook email profile.

   

9. In the viewer, select the arrow to the left of Root to expand it.

   

10. Expand IPM_SUBTREE.

    If you don't see IPM_SUBTREE, choose Top of Information Store or Top of Outlook data file.

    

11. Right-click Inbox.

    

12. Select Open associated contents table.

    

13. Go to the Subject section, right-click IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete, and then choose Export message.

    

14. In the Save Message To File window, select the Format to save message dropdown arrow and choose MSG file (UNICODE).

    

15. Select OK.

Save the MSG file somewhere safe. You can now exit MFCMAPI and use Outlook normally.

Being logged in to Windows 7 with a temporary profile

Hi,
Welcome to Microsoft answers.
This problem occurs if the current user's profile was accidentally deleted from the system.
Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However,
serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can
restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the
registry
 1. Log on to the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is
experiencing the problem.
2. Back up all data in the current user's profile folder if the profile folder still exists, and then delete the
profile folder. By default, the profile resides in the following location:
%SystemDrive%\Users\UserName
3. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click
Continue.
4.Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
5.Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named SID.bak.
Note SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the
problem. The SID.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original
profile folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Log off the system.
8. Log on to the system again.
