Default Outlook Express 6 address book won't export

Want to run that past me again? Using Internet Explorer to export? Sure,
for favorites, cookies and with IE7, RSS feeds, but I don't remember a
choice to export an Address Book. If you want to get a copy of all contacts
in Folders and Groups, you must make sure they also appear in the Shared
Contacts folder. That suggests you did not bother to read the info at the
link I posted earlier:

I was talking about exporting from within IE (File Export Address Book
Text File ...). That always seems to get the current identiity's

entries. Typing "wab /a" from Start Run and then exporting gets
everything, mixed together. Typeing just "wab" and then exporting gets
the current identity's entries, just like doing it from within IE.
Nothing I've tried produces only the Shared Contacts entries as you
previously described.

WAB /a lets you see all entries w/o regard to identities. See this link

When I export addresses from IE6 (SP1 on W2K), I get the current
identity's entries, not those from Shared Contacts. Does this vary from
one version of IE to another, or are there different methods that

produce
different results?
