It's hidden, so you need to check <b>Show hidden files and folders</b> option (in Windows Explorer, under Tool\Folder Options\View)

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

That should work but for future reference it is a lot easier and better to simply use the export utility to export your contacts to a file and then import them later. You can even download a backup utility off microsoft.com that lets you scedule backups of all your mail data files.

i checked that folder and found a list. but its not complete.

i guess when i said address book i ment contacts. since there seems to be a difference in outlook.

so i still cant locate the proper files.

i have the ability to boot that drive still and see that outlook still works ok and the list is still intact. i just cant locate it.

thanks
