Can delete Addressbook.reg?
 
In the root folder of both my E: there is a file Addressbook.reg (12/8/06)
with 0 bytes; similarly on J: (8/14/06) with 0 bytes. Can I delete either or
both of these?

Thanks,
Don Culp

What is the location of your identity's (or identities') message store
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain)?

What are your E: and J: drives? Do you use OE-QuickBackup and are any of
your backups located on your E: or J: drives?

The store file is in "F:\Outlook Express files". These files are
automatically backed up each day to "J:\Backup\Outlook Express files".

E: is a partition of drive 1. It has only program files. J: is a separate
physical drive. It is used mainly for backup (no active files). The
OE-QuickBackup files are located on J:\Backup (last backed up 3/15/08).

Don't delete either file (unless you want your backups to be worthless).

Yeah, you can delete these. These are generated by OEQB and are backups of
this registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB

I don't know why they are zero bytes, but you don't need those files.
