Default windows crash help

If you don't find a .WAB file or you find an empty one, the reinstall may
have overwrote it. Especially if you used the same user account name.

Search for *.wab to find the address book. If you don't find it, search for
*~* and if you find something, give it a wab file extension and then click
on it and see if it will open.
