Thanks - I changed the value to 0 in the Registry as instructed and it has
restored my address book in OE.

I recently exported my address book from Outlook Express to Outlook.

I have now gone back to Outlook Express, but find that my adress book has
been emptied.

Luckily I do have the .wab file backed up and can run it as an EXE file if
need be , but for convenience I would like to copy it to the C: drive so that
adresses show up in my contacts again.

However using the 'copy file' option in My Computer does not seem to result
in the addresses appearing when I click ToolsAddress Book in OE.

Am I doing something wrong please?
