Export them as a .csv file, and save it in an appropriate directory. It can
then be imported when desired. Best to save it on removeable media.

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Fixes, Find and Open the Windows Address Book
Folder. Locate the <username>.wab file and copy it to a safe location. To
replace it, just copy it back, and rename it, if needed.
