Publisher's Description: |
NK2Edit works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 7/2008. NK2Edit is a Unicode based application, and thus it cannot work under Windows 95/98/ME.
NK2Edit can read, write, and create NK2 files for Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2010 Beta.
Outlook installation is not required on the computer that you run NK2Edit, except of "Add Records From Address Book" feature, which cannot work without Outlook. NK2Edit can also be used to open, edit, and save NK2 files on remote computers in your network, as long as you have read/write permission to the remote NK2 file.
License
The license for using NK2Edit is different from most of other NirSoft utilities:
NK2Edit is completely free for personal use at your home and for using in any charity/non-profit organization.
If you need to use NK2Edit in a company/business organization, you can freely try and evaluate the NK2Edit software for 14 days and verify that the software really works as you expect.
If after the 14-days of evaluation you decide to continue using it, you have to purchase a commercial license according to the number of workstations with Outlook that NK2Edit is needed for opening or editing their NK2 file.

NK2Edit vs NK2View
NK2View was originally released as a small free tool for viewing the content of NK2 files. After many requests from users, I added some limited editing features that allowed the users to remove and add records into the NK2 file. However, NK2View was not designed to be a real NK2 editor, and for some NK2 files, it failed to add/remove records properly.
As opposed to NK2View, NK2Edit was designed as a real NK2 editor that can make any change you need and then save it back into a valid NK2 file.
Using NK2Edit Without Installation
NK2Edit can be used without any installation process. Simply download the zip file of NK2Edit, extract the files into any folder you like, and run the executable file (NK2Edit.exe) . You can also put the files of NK2Edit in a shared network drive, and run it from any workstation in your company.
Whenever you want to remove NK2Edit from your system, simply delete the files of NK2Edit (NK2Edit.exe, NK2Edit.cfg, and NK2Edit.chm). NK2Edit doesn't write anything to the Registry or other places, so deleting the files is enough for removing NK2Edit completely from your system.
Using NK2Edit With Install/Uninstall Support
If you want, you can also download NK2Edit with installer (NK2Edit_setup.exe), and install NK2Edit like any other software. The installer of NK2Edit automatically add a new group to the start menu of Windows and it also add a new entry to the uninstall list of Windows, so you'll be able to easily uninstall NK2Edit if it's needed.
x64 Version of NK2Edit
NK2Edit has 2 features that extract address book/mailbox information directly from Microsoft Outlook: "Add New Records From Address Book" and "Add Records From Mailbox Recipients".
If you use the 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2010, you must download and use the x64 of NK2Edit in order to use the above 2 features. In all other cases, you should use the 32-bit version of NK2Edit. Be aware that if you have 64-bit Windows installation, but the installation of MS-Outlook is 32-bit, you must use the 32-bit version of NK2Edit in order to use the above 2 features.
Before You Start
When you edit your NK2 file, remember to verify that the executable of Outlook (Outlook.exe) is not running. If you edit the NK2 file when Outlook is opened, Outlook may save the NK2 file and overwrite your changes.
Backups of NK2 file: When you make changes in your NK2 files, it's always important to keep a backup of the original NK2 file, so if something goes wrong and the modified NK2 doesn't work properly, you'll be able to restore the original one.
When you save your NK2 changes in the first time, NK2Edit automatically creates a backup of the original NK2 file with NK2Edit.First.bak extension. To restore the original NK2 file, simply use the 'Restore Backup From First Save' option. You can disable the automatic backup by unchecking the 'Automatically Backup On First Save' in the Options, although it's recommended to keep this options enabled.
In addition to the automatic backup of the first save, NK2Edit also allows you to create a backup when you think it's important. Simply use the 'Backup Current NK2 File' option, and NK2Edit will create a backup file with .NK2Edit.bak extension.
Know the limitation for number of records in NK2 files: Outlook 2003 limits the maximum number of records in NK2 files to 1000, while Outlook 2007/2010 limits the maximum number of records to 2000. When you edit your NK2 files, you should keep the number of records below these limits. See Also: Size limit of Outlook AutoComplete (.NK2) file.
In Outlook 2010 (Currently in Beta), the AutoComplete file is saved with .dat extension and its header data is a little different from the previous versions of Outlook. In order to save the AutoComplete file for Outlook 2010 properly, you have to save the file with .dat extension, so NK2Edit will save it with the new file header of Outlook 2010.
