On the old machine, do a search for *.wab and include Hidden Files and
Folders. You will probably see a few address books, one of which would be
the current one. Copying that one to CD and deleting the rest should solve
this.

Now that it is already on the new machine, you can do the same search and
delete old ABs. The one you are currently using will have to me manually
edited though.

I recently set up a new computer and imported my address book from my
desktop
to the new laptop. When the contacts showed up in the address book on the
new
laptop there were old contacts in the list that I have long since deleted
on
the destop OE address book. It is like when you delete a conatct in the
address book it just doen't display until it is imported to a new machine
then all the old conatcts show up again. How can I edit the content of my
address book so only current conacts are in it?
