Addressbook registry change

Hi

I am trying to make a registry change which I have been advised to do via this Newsgroup. I want to share my Outlook address book with OE. The change is ----

There's a registry hack that may allow it. With both Outlook and Outlook
Express closed, click Start>Run. Enter "regedit" in the OPen field and
click OK. Locate the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4. Click Edit>New>DWORD Value.
Enter "UseOutlook" as the new key name and press Enter. Double-click
UseOutlook and enter 1 as the Value data. Click OK and exit regedit. Start
Outlook Express and its address book should reference your Contacts folder.

After I made the change, I was still viewing my WAB. The only change I found was under Help>About in the Address book and that was there was no file location and also 'Shared Contacts' was no longer there. I was hoping wondering someone could advise me if I have missed something. (I did post my question back on my old thread but I'm not sure if it is being watched anymore).

Hope you can help me. Thanks alot.
Julia
