What files do I need to save to make a backup of my Outlook Express address book? I'm running W98 SE
Start > Find > Files/Folders > type in "*.wab" (without the quotes). When it finds the file, copy it to any text editor (Wordpad, Notepad, whatever), and save it in someplace, and with a name, you'll remember. You could save it to a floppy or other removeable media if ya wanna. Once its a text file, you can print it, too.
It's better to use the export function within Outlook Express. This can put it in a comma separated value text file that can be imported into other mail readers.
To do this go to (in Outlook Express):
File > Export > Address Book
