Right. If you haven't found the right groups yet, try posting in this
newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com.microsof...outlookexpress

If this group isn't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found he

Can anyone help me with this mystery. My OE address book has been bulging
with additions from my formerly archived address books, thus I have
replicated entries, and its getting so large I cannot easily edit them out
because recently I added more information to many contacts' cards.

My computer is an HP, XP Pro SR2, and I use OneCare, now. I have removed IE7
due to problems at URLs, for now. Also, I've removed all of my programs
automatic update features, because when I had Zone Alarm HP and WMP was
daily trying to access the Internet, and I wanted that stopped for more
security; thus I also removed another large .PDF reader (bulky, large), and
anything I know I can shed to protect my computer. The only problem is that
it takes a software maintence guru to be able to find that file in WMP11.
Its a horrible program for the majority of users, and its malware, at best.
But, I could not find the "update" file, so its been removed totally, for
now.

Thank you so much.
