I want to be sure to include Outlook's address book (contacts) on my backup.
But, can't seem to find it. Anyone know where it is?

Thanks,
Don

Oh, one other thing, does Outlook Express and the full version of Outlook
use the same address book? If not, where are they located?

Thanks,

Outlook Express - Address Book is WAB.EXE so do a search and find where yours
is.

Outlook [as part of MS Office] has the Contacts as a folder within the .PST
file.

Again, this may not be in a 'default' location so search for it.

Or create an archive [or backup] and place it where you prefer.

The actual OE data is in a file with a .WAB extension. It is usually here:

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Address
Book\user.wab

where user is your user name.
