backup from the old hard drive (c:/). I am now restoring my files on my new hard drive and cannot seem to find where all of my contacts would have of been stored? Am I able to restore these at all, if I dont have a csv copy of them? Thanks In Advance

Do an Advanced search and include Hidded Files and Folders. Type in:

Restoring Address Book
I have just done a search on the old drive and there is no file that ends in
the .wab file extension (I searched hidden files). Is this the only place where my contacts would have been stored?

Try leaving off the *. i.e.:
..wab Other than that, you may be out of luck unless someone else has an idea. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Lango" wrote in message ...

Restoring Address Book
Was Outlook from Office installed? If so, Outlook Express (OE) might
have been set to share the Outlook contacts. In that case, OE would not have been using a WAB file. Rather, the Outlook PST file (or possibly PAB) would be where the contacts are. In that case, you need to install Outlook in order to access them. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Lango" wrote in message ...
