Default Corrupt Address Book

Do an Advanced Search and include Hidden Files and Folders. Search for:

*.wab
&
~wa

See what you can find and figure out.

Hi Bruce; My original Address book had several Folders with address in
them. Now there are several Folders that
appear to be missing. So I tried to recreate the Folders and I find that
I am unable because a popup tells me that
there is already a Folder with that name. I tried other names and got the
same result. So somehow these Folders
are hidden from me. I went into Control Panel - Folder Options and I
noticed that show hidden Folders was
checked. I unchecked it and then hit apply, then I rechecked it and hit
apply, ok.
However, these Folders still are there but unseen in my address book.
How do I once again get these Folders to be seen, so that I can see the
addresses I have in them?
thank you

Address book in .wab

I set up a new identity for Outlook Express, but then I went back to the
Original Identity.
In the process I cannot get my address book back like I like it.
I have a saved address book in a folder, but when I import it, the
Address book just doubles
up on the names and still will not let me have the same as the saved
Address book.

How can I uninstall the Address book and then reinstall the Address book
so that I can then
import the saved Address book.
