September 13, 200223 yr I know this has nothing to do with FS but the forum is replete with experts and wizards in the PC world generally, so here is my question:I just exported my Outlook express 5.5 Address Book from my old P3 and imported it into Outlook Express 6.0 on my new P4 under Windows XP. But I simply cannot find WHERE in the new PC the Address Book is actually resident on the C: drive. Can anybody assist me to locate the file or the folder where the Address Book actually lives (i.e., where the DATA is)? In the old P3, it was a *.wab file but there seem to be no *.wab files in the new 'puter and I just can't find the Address Book either doing any other kind of search.I appreciate any assistance here (it's useless to ask MS; OE is one of their biggest secrets and nobody really understands how it works--or if they do, they ain't tellin'!)Thanks !JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.

September 14, 200223 yr Trip:Thanks!One other question.How do you back up your Address Book? Last time I tried on the old P3 with windows 98, it all got corrupted as I tried to copy it to a floppy and made a huge mess that took weeks to fix.Thanks again!Js Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
September 14, 200223 yr I use BackupXpress JS. I just copy it to my other HDD along with the rest of the backup stuff. I always had trouble with the Address Book in Win98 also, but the Import feature of XP makes it a snap to restore. Trip
September 14, 200223 yr Great, thanks again!I like XP...!JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
