Default How to un-delete contact group

This has happened to me before. It seems too easy to delete a whole,
entire contact group accidentally.

How can I get my contact group back that I deleted? It would be a huge
pain to start it over again.
Thanks,
Rob

Short answer is you cannot. If you delete a contact from the address book,
you get a warning box asking "Are you sure" and if you respond with Yes,
those contacts are history. They do not go to the Recycle Bin and absent
some very expensive recovery utilities from 3rd parties, I doubt you would
have any success in attempting a recovery. Sorry.

There's no undelete function. You need a backup copy of the address
book (WAB).

OE makes a backup copy. See:
The Windows Address Book (WAB)
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm

If the deletion of the group was the only recent change, you could
simply replace the current address book with the backup. Alternately
you can open the backup copy and copy/paste between that and the current
one.
