Address Book

[Kurt Dawson]

Where are the files containing the information in the
address book stored in the system?

[Wesley Vogel]

Kurt;
Do a Search for *.WAB WAB = Windows Address Book.

[Kurt Dawson]

there was no "Application Data" folder

[Wesley Vogel]

Do a Search for *.WAB
Start/Search/For Files and Folders/Advanced Options/
check: Search system folders
check: Search hidden files and folders
check: Search Subfolders
type: *.WAB in the "Type file name here" box
click the Search Now button
Look for it in the right hand pane
====
Start/Run/type "C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book"
(without the quotes)
Change Your Name Here to whatever applies
click OK
===
If there really is no "Application Data" folder you have more problems than no Address Book.

Kurt - I had the same problem of having no Application Data folder. I read this email train and figured that there must be something else wrong because I have an address book and it had to be stored somewhere. Here's the solution! That file is HIDDEN!


Go to My Computer/Tools/Folder Options. Click on the View tab. Under Files and Folders there is a check box for Hidden files and folders - click on Show Hidden Files and Folders. Et voilÃ*. Now you can follow Wes' instructions. Hope this helps you.

A much easier way is to just bring up the address book, click on Help and
then About Address Book and it will show you where it resides.
