Plan to do a complete RESTORE of my laptop. Would like to save the
address book. Thought it was a .wab file - search found nothing. Where
does MS store the address book -or- what is its tag?

BTW, did a comp RESTORE on a desktop - was well worth the effort.
However, thought the address book went along with the INBOX and like
stuff. Not so. Thus lost all contacts on that machine. (Inbox, etc
files kept on another physical disk).

Thank You for what may be a question asked again and again!
