You cannot create an NK2 file yourself. Only Outlook can create a valid NK2
file.
Vista is not different. Brian has posted the path to search.
Outlook will not create an NK2 file until you have sent messages and then
exited Outlook completely. So one of those conditions is not true. Tell us
which. Bear in mind that if you are running add-ins or sync software,
Outlook may not have exited completely.

I am having a similar problem with autocomplete. I have Windows XP and
Microsoft 2007. The autocomplete feature is checked in Outlook. The
autocomplete feature works as long as Outlook is on. However, if you close
Outlook and open it back up, the autocomplete feature doesn't work and it is
still checked in the options menu. I have searched for the nk2 file and it
does not show up on the search. I have made sure the advanced options showed
the hidden files, but it still doesn't find it. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Teresa

The file will be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and its name will match your
mail profile name.

Is there a size limit to this .nk2 file? Is there any way to restore a
version from yesterday?
I sent an email to a couple of thousand people and now my auto-complete
feature is only showing those names. I am missing a lot of other ones that
used to be there?
Any ideas?
Thank you...

2,000 entries. Add a new entry after that and the oldest one will be removed.
