Hi

I have tried to move my WAB file via registry key and this locked the
application. I then had to restore my system to an earlier version even
though I changed the registry ey back to it's original file location. I was
wondering if there is an easy and simply way of moving the file. I'd like
to have it under a directory I have created ....My Documents\My Address
Book.

I hope someone can advise me.

Thanks
Julia

Thank you for the link.

Does changing the Store Folder location also change the location for the
Address Book as well?

It shouldn't. That is a separate operation. See:

Hi Julia,

I would recommend doing a backup of the message store folder files before
changing its location.

OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data

Note: The Microsoft KB article on changing the address book default location
has not been updated to include OE6, but see the linked article for more
information.
