Hi! Thanks for your suggestions, although they weren't very
useful--except for the one below. Since the WAB key was one of the
ones I deleted, I think I might need to replace it. It has the
location of the Address book, but according to some references it is
in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/WAB/Wab File Name/(Default)

that has to be changed, and in some it is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/WAB/WAB4/Wab File
Name/(Default)

If anybody is using Windows XP and Outlook Express 6, can you take a
peek inside your registry and see which it is? I'd appreciate it.

Or better yet, just export the whole WAB key and attach the .reg file
to your reply. I promise I won't sell your registry secrets to the
Russians.

OE 6 uses registry keys named "5.0". There never were any named 6.0 or
5.5 for that matter.

If you rename the address book, you have to also adjust the registry
