How do I move the address book to a different partition?

[Don J]

How do I move the file (or all files) that holds the contents of the address
book to a different partition? Reason: I don't want to lose the contents
of the address book in the event that Windows XP gets reinstalled or
destroyed. I am very comfortable with editing the registry.

In the run box, type WAB (Windows Address Book). You can import/export
copies to your heart's content.

I want the address book to continue to use the moved file.

The referenced KB article may help, believe the contents still
apply to Win2000/XP.

The actual location of the .Wab will be found at:
