They were running Microsoft Office 2007 so I went into the location where the data file was stored. The path for the data file in Windows Vista is  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook . I copied the “Outlook.ost” to a flash drive.

I then took the computer off the domain and joined it to the new one. When I opened Microsoft Outlook it went through the “setup email account” wizard. I entered the

credentials for the email account. Once it started downloading mail I closed Outlook and browsed to the folder ( C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook) where the new “Outlook.ost” data file was stored. I copied the old data file, from the flash drive, into that folder. I then renamed the old data file to the same as the new data file. I opened Outlook again and entered the username and password and all the email was there.

A little while later our customer called and said the AutoComplete file was missing. So I went back into her old Windows profile. After a bunch of digging around in the old profile I found the .NK2 AutoComplete file. The file was not stored at the usual location but was stored at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\Office. I then copied the AutoComplete file into same folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\Office) in the new Windows profile. I renamed the old AutoComplete file (Outlook1.NK2) the same as the current file (Outlook.NK2). I then opened Outlook and all the AutoComplete addresses were there.

Step One: Go to your Start Menu > Control Panel > Ease of Access Center

Step Two: Once Ease of Access Center is selected click on ‘Make the keyboard easier to use’.

Step Three: Scroll to the bottom and click ‘Add a Dvorak keyboard and change other keyboard input settings’.

Step Four: Under the tab Keyboards and Languages, Select Change Keyboards.

Step Five: Select the General tab and add whatever keyboard you want to use. Then once you have that keyboard added make sure to change the Default input language to the new keyboard. ( That was the setting I was missing all along.) Make sure to apply the changes and hit okay.

Step Six:In the ‘Regional and Language Options‘ window click on the Administrative tab and click on the option ‘Copy to reserved accounts‘. Check the box beside both account types and select Okay.

That is what worked for me. If this helped you, please leave a comment.  Hat tip to Shinmila H. This was posted by techspeeder.
