Moving AddressBook from C partition to D Partition

[fkissam]

How can I make sure my .wab AddressBook is installed on my D partition
rather than my C partition. Do I simply uninstall OutlookExpress from the
C partition and then install it on the D partition? What ever happened to
the PowerQuest product called MagicMOver?

Any help would be appreciated.

You don't need to reinstall Outlook Express. All you need is to move your
..wab file from it's current location to somewhere on your D: drive and
update the registry accordingly.

Close Outlook Express.

Run regedit, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name

See "(default)" string value, this is the full file name of you current .wab
filename.

Run explorer and move this file to where you need.

Update the "(default)" value.

Run Outlook Express.

Good luck
