Try searching for wab.exe

wab.exe is probably in "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\wab.exe"

When you open it you should be able to click File | Show All Contacts.
Search there for any unwanted addresses or Address Books and delete them.

| 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.
I
| am a blind user.
|
| My computer is an HP, XP Pro SR2, and I use OneCare, now. Prior to last
| week I used Ad-Aware, SpyBot s&D, Zone Alarm, Windows Firewall (Duh!),
| and AVG.
|
| Because I downloaded OneCare I downloaded IE7. It was fine for me, but
I
| had problems even at the MS site to scan my computer for Updates (which
| were formerly on Automatic with Notification in my computer--that
| disappeared, too).
|
| I have removed IE7 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 Adobe (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 WMP "update" file, so its been removed
| totally, for now.
|
| My OE has been running fine...and the Address Book seems stable now,
but
| to clean it out, will be many days task. Other than the above, I did
use
| System Restore twice, but it did not affect the Address Book problem.
| And, during this time, my DSL company kept trying to change my modem
(its
| my phone company, too),and I was refusing to be moved from pin 1 to pin
| 3, et al...so I was down for about 6 days off an on...while I raged at
| them for having a pw on my account that I'd never heard nor "seen (I
make
| passphrases so I know when one is mine)." Maybe something happened to
my
| computer during that period of time.
|
| Thank you so much.
