Is MS Outlook (or MS Office) also installed?

Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4

If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space)
and is its value set to 1 (one)?

If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of
Office). Change the value to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available
to you and all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't
create it, and don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing
was enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when
sharing is disabled.

My address book has no identity folders or shared folders. Both of my
identities are sharing ALL contacts. Anyone know why and how to
resolve it please?
