Is there any way I can copy the address book used by Outlook Express so I can move it to a second computer?

The address book is contained in a file whose name is usually your user name, followed by a period and the letters "WAB," for Windows Address Book. It usually resides deep in a subfolder in the Documents and Settings folder.

To find it, use the built-in Windows search system (it's weak, but can do this particular task) or a third-party search program to search for "WAB" or ".WAB". It should come up. Once you find it, you can just copy it like any file to a removable medium, like a writable CD or a USB thumb drive, or even email it to yourself.

When you copy it to your new computer, remember where you placed it. Then, open Outlook Express on the second computer, and open the address book by going to the Tools menu and clicking on Address Book. Go to the address book's File menu, select Import, and click Address Book (WAB). Navigate to the address-book file that you copied from the first PC, and then click Open.
