Default Lost contact list

Hi Jim, I have been there and the share option is already ticked. So I
changed users and it is also ticked there. I also checked out that web site.
I re-ran *.wab and there were two files. One default user and one for the
second user. There were no addresses in the box but did an import for each
and got a sucessful message. Closed and reopened outlook. Same problem. After
switching a couple of times the contact list showed up. Checked 4 other users
and they all had contacts. Grrrrr. 78 years old and trying. lol. How about a
personal note. I see you were navy. My best friend joined in 1946 and became
one of the youngest CPOs in the electronics field. He later taught college
and started his own software company. Sadly missed by me.
Thanks
Kelly

Shared Contacts are in the Address Book. Take a look at the attached

Jim, I wan't the one that mentioned IE7, I have IE6. I have done most of
my
posting in XP general and have had decent results. I checked the option
you
mentioned about the default user when opening outlook. That's solved. Not
like ME. Also had a post on photo editor and took care of that problem.
Let
me give you a little history. When I started out I had 40G with 11 used
and
29 available. After the installation problems with XP not booting up
except
in safe mode, I contacted MS by phone and after an hour or so and a lot of
tries he had me go in and change a .sys file to .old and then it booted
finally. When I checked C: drive I noticed that I ended up with 30G used
and
9 free. Wow. Later I talked to amother tech because my puter wouldn't shut
down. After another hour or more, he said it was mainly a mouse and
keyboard
hardware conflict. Finally it shut down normally. I mentioned the loss of
so
much hard drive and he said that was created by the problems of the puter
trying to boot. He sent me to check a box, allow system file to be shown,
and
search for files named (found) and delete them. There were about 36. I
tried
to delete one and it was too big for the recycle bin so I ended up using
shift. I got 10G back. How do I find the shared contacts folder?
Thanks
Kelly

Contacts for specific identities are all that you will see when you
switch
identities unless the Contacts are also added to the Shared Contacts
folder.
Each identity normally only "sees" those contacts that are in the Shared
Contacts folder and those that they created while working in that
identity.

To change the identity that is the default on opening use the menu,
File/Identities/Manage Identities and define which identity should be
used
when the program is opened.

For your other problems that may or may not be related to the
installation
of Internet Explorer v. 7, you really should post in this newsgroup:

A couple more oddities. As I said sometimes the contact list will be
there
and sometimes not. The address book always seems to be there however.
Switching back and forth in identities sometimes works. Another thing,
before
XP when I was, for instance, using identity #2 and closed outlook
express
and
then reopened, I would still be in identtiy #2. Now it always goes back
to
identity#1. It's been fun. Other problems, XP didn't install the right
drivers for mouse, printer, modem, etc. Worked with MS tech for a
couple
of
hours to even get to boot up and another time to get to shut down.
Grrrrr.
Thanks

Hello,

I recently upgraded to IE7, and as soon as I did that, I no longer
had
access to outlook express! How do I retrieve this, as I no longer
have
access to my email.

Cheers,

Sujinder

You should start your own "thread" and not jump into another
poster's
request for help. And you should ask a question that you believe is
related to an Internet Explorer upgrade in an appropriate newsgroup
or
remove the upgrade via Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.

To get an appropriate newsgroup on the web, click this link (or
copy/paste it into your browser):
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...orer. general


I have a feeling that a lot more of this will be appearing now that
IE7
is going "Gold".
