restore address book

Dear all,

I want to restore the address book in another machine, I find just copy toe
the file C:\Documents and Settings\user id\Application
Data\Microsoft\Address Book to the new PC, it can't work. If I import the
address, I find subfolders for address disappears.

Create a "standalone" WAB file:
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/wab.htm#wabexe

Then open your default address book to the group desired and select all
member of the group and copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+A selects all,
Ctrl+C copies them to the clipboard). Then open your "standalone" WAB
file and paste the contacts into that file (you will have to hit the Enter
key to OK each entry but it beats typing) and then either copy that wab
file to a floppy disc or export it as CSV file. Otherwise, folders and
groups neither import, nor export.

Default behavior; WYSIWYG.
