Finding Microsoft Outlook Express .WAB file without Windows search.
If you use Outlook Express you may have addresses
in your Address Book to backup.
- Click on the Start
button.
- Take note of 2 things. 1) D:\ is the drive
letter where my profile is located. 2) Administrator
is the profile I am currently using. The drive letter or username
are probably different for you. You need the correct directory
information from your computer to find the data contained in your profile.
- Write it down & type exit. Press the Enter
key.
- Go back & left-click on the Start
button & left-click on Run...
- Type the drive letter you found earlier. I would type d:\
to open a new window. (Shown below)
- Double left-click on Documents and Settings.
- Double left-click on the username you found earlier. In my case
Administrator.
- Double left-click on Application Data. (This is a
hidden folder. You must have followed this
tutorial already or you won't see this folder.
- Double left-click on Microsoft.
- Double left-click on Address Book.
- 176 KB is an empty .WAB file. I use Microsoft Outlook contacts
instead. Still if you have a file larger than 176 KB that it should
be backed up.
