Address Book problem

[Rajiv Khandelwal, M. D.]

I just reformatted my computer and installed XP and connected to my Server
2003 with a roaming profile. Everything is working fine but for my address
book in my OE. Everytime I reboot, I have to copy my old address book at its
proper location so as to access it from OE.

Just for information, when the computer was formatted, the users were:
1. Administrator (local computer)
2. Rajiv (roaming profile)

Now the documents and settings folder has the following users
1. Administrator (local computer)
2. Rajiv.domain
3. Rajiv

The Rajiv folder has all the settings and I believe that it needs to be
shifted to Rajiv.Domain to solve this issue. Kindly guide me how to do it,
if required.

OE - Address Book: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name

Right click on the branch above and select Export and save the REG files to
your hard drive.

Next open Windows Explorer and locate the REG file you saved above. Double
click and answer yes to the import prompt.

Added info:

Click Start, and then click Search. Click All files and folders .
In the What do you want to search for box, click All files and folders. In
the All or part of the file name type, *.wab , and then click Search.

When the search is finished, double-click each file to open it. When you
have found the correct one (it will contain your Contact information), note
the exact location and name of the file.

In Outlook Express, click the File menu. Click Import, and then click
Address Book. Point the Look In field to the location that you noted in the
above step.

Click the .wab file, and then click Open. Click OK to import the Address
Book.

Thanks for the reply. The simple solution that I did was to copy the address
book in my Server Profile and thereafter did not have the problem.
