Easy way to empty WAB in O/Express
To make sure they are all gone, open the Address Book | Help | About....
will show you the location of the AB file. In WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | View. Go there and delete the WAB folders. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ wrote in message ps.com...

Open the Address Book and go to Help | About and it will tell you what file it is using. Delete that file, NOT Wab.exe which is the executable, not the data file. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE Please respond in Newsgroup.
