Sharing Windows Address Book contacts with Outlook 2007

[Test Man]

Back in Outlook 2000, you could set an option to share the Windows Address
Book contacts with Outlook (contacts would be stored in Outlook). This
allowed you to have Outlook contacts to be displayed in Outlook Express too.
In 2003 (maybe 2002 version too) the option was taken out but you could
still set it via the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4 (DWORD UseOutlook with a value
of 1, URL http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/files/wab.htm#share).

Have they finally removed the link completely in Outlook 2007, or is there
another way to do it?

That link doesn't work anymore. I don't know if there is another way.

OK, thought as much. Thanks, probably a good reason to migrate to Outlook
completely I suppose.
