In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as
hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden
Files and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder Options View.

OE creates and automatically maintains a back-up of your Address Book. If
yours is marty.wab, you should also have/find a file named marty.wab~ (WAB
extension plus a tilde).

I'm trying to back up some files to a CD. I can figure out how to do the
other files I want, such as My Documents and Favorites, but not the
address
book. The last time I did this I had the address book on there, but I
didn't
write down what I did. If I read the old CD, it appears that the file name
is marty.wab, but I get nothing if I search for that or just .wab.
