default location for OE address book

[Guest Bruce Nelson]

My father's computer won't start windows. I am going to use the reinstall

disk that came with the computer, but would like to try to save his files

first. I have located everything except the address book used by outlook

express. Can anyone tell me the default location of the file?

Please note that I cannot use the OE program to export it, as I cannot start

windows.

Thank you

The above site has an excellent backup app for OE, may not help in your

case, but, it is a good resource site, anyway.

Heirloom, old and backups are good
