Outlook Express .WAB file location

Something went wrong. There is nothing in the message I received.

If you're talking about the message body in my reply, there was no text. Just the header for you to search for *.wab. Mine are listed in My Documents folders, yours will be too, burried deep.

When you see a message header/title with (NT) in front, that means there is no message in the body. Just a way for someone to give you information without typing anything else.

You missed the point of my question. I can find the .WAB file with no problem. I want to relocate it and modify the Address Book to find the file in teh new location. How do I do that?

Don't know. Since it's embedded into OE a regestry edit would probably be necessary.

Just a gut feeling tells me that you could create large problems, or even make OE unusable.

Sorry.

Thanks anyway.

I have relocated the .WAB file on the two Win 2000 Pro desktop machines I case for based on an article in either PC Mag or PC World. They are happily located on my D drive which is the one I back up frequently. OE finds and uses them.

I'm getting old and cannot remember how to redirect OE to the new location. ACn't find the article either.

Oh, well!

Hey, success!

Went to Windows help and asked the Microsoft chat. Someone directed me to a back up article that showed how to do it.

You were right, it involves editing the registry.
