I used the Gateway 'restore' disk to put a new OS (WinXP Home) back on

searched for *.wab and don't see any results. I presume it was in the
user/local settings/application
data/identities/xxxxxxx/microsoft/outlook
express
However, everything in this location is years old, and contains nothing
that
looks like an address book. I know I should have exported a copy - but I
didn't. So where is it hiding - anyone know?

Go into the registry and look under:
HKEY_USERS\yourSID\Software\Microsoft\Wab\WAB4\W ab File Name
That specifies where is the .wab file for your Windows account. The
location was probably the same under your old OS instance as it is under
your new OS instance. You'll notice that "identities" is NOT in the path
to
the .wab folder.
