Here's the process to move the location of the address book (.wab) file so OE can find and use it:
1. Set up the folder where you want the address book to be kept (I use the same folder as the .dbx files).
2. Go to Start>Run, type in "regedit" (without the quotes) and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name
3. Click Registry>Export Registry File and save the selected branch to your desktop as "WAB.reg". You can then restore the current location simply by double-clicking the saved WAB.reg file.
4. In the right-hand pane, right-click on (Default) and click Modify, then carefully enter the full path and file name of your relocated *.wab.
5. Close Regedit and open Outlook Express.
