Was Outlook from Office installed? If so, Outlook Express (OE) might
have been set to share the Outlook contacts. In that case, OE would not
have been using a WAB file. Rather, the Outlook PST file (or possibly
PAB) would be where the contacts are. In that case, you need to install
Outlook in order to access them.

I have just done a search on the old drive and there is no file that
ends in
the .wab file extension (I searched hidden files). Is this the only
place
where my contacts would have been stored? Thanks

My computer crashed unexpectantly, although I did manage to make a
complete
backup from the old hard drive (c:/).

I am now restoring my files on my new hard drive and cannot seem to
find
where all of my contacts would have of been stored? Am I able to
restore
these at all, if I dont have a csv copy of them?

Thanks In Advance
