Just to let any one know, I visited slipstick.com to no
avail. i searched in hidden files and such for *.wab,
*.oab, *.csv (*.pab and *.pst ) did pull up a file but
when selected showed no existence of outlook . i have
windows xp 2000 if that helps. i don't care about the
messages or personal e-mail folders, -i really need to
recover valuable e-mail addresses. Any ideas?

Unless you reformatted your hard drive, the data will all be there in a PST
file.
Did you enable a search of hidden folders?
