Ok, I'm actually troubleshooting for my brother, who's having some trouble
with his copy of Outlook Express. The thing is, in his address book, he set
up a few subfolders containing certain contacts for convience, however now
something has caused the folders to dissapear, along with the contacts from
the address book. The kicker is that when he tried reimporting some of the
addresses (Which he still has thanks to the Sent folder), Outlook says it
can't save them because their already in the address book.
Any advice?

Assuming MS Outlook (or MS Office) is also installed:

• Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4

• If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space) and
is its value set to 1 (one)?

• If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero), close REGEDIT & reboot: Address Book should be
available to you and all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present,
don't create it, and don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.
