address book/contacts

Windows Vista: Home version

Somehow my contacts list has a wrong email id in it. When I remove/edit the
email id, it does not change, i.e.

arlenexxxxxx@yahoo.com is the correct adress

The contact list shows that it is correct, but when I use the shortcut by
typing in the first few letters it uses: arlenexxxxxx2006@yahoo.com

Why can't I get it changed??????

I am not happy with Windows Vista mail.

Windows Mail has two different contact lists, the regular one and the
auto-complete one. The latter comes into play only when you begin
typing a few letters in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields. Auto-completion
draws from a list of the last 29 contacts you've sent email to. That
list is kept in the registry and is not easily edited. The bad address
will drop off the remembered list eventually. If you are comfortable with
editing the registry, see these instructions:

The best solution is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail since it has a
much better auto-complete feature:
