I found a .pst file. It is 1536 kb. Now, I am REALLY confused lol, I always thought I was using outlook express. That is what I am using now and it looks like the same email I always have been using. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Disastar" <disastar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 11:15 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: OE address book Christy, I don't think that is the one you want. That is the OE (Outlook Express) address book, but I think what you were actually using was Outlook 2000's Contacts instead. Is that correct? Were you using the Outlook from the Office 2000 suite or were you really using Outlook Express? Only do the following if I'm understanding correctly and you are trying to recover Outlook 2000 address book/contacts. If you are talking about recovering the Contacts from Outlook 2000 then I'm not 100% sure what that version used. Newer versions of Outlook store the Contacts in the .pst file along with your emails, but the 2000 version might have used a .pab file. Can you please run file searches for *.PAB and *.PST and let us know what you find?

So I looked to see where it was stored and now what do I do to get it back please ;) Christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 11:30 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: OE address book Run a search on your hard drive for '*.wab' without the quotes. Let me know what comes up. If more than one file is uncovered, let me know the sizes of each one, too.
