any registry trick for changing this ?

[nikhilrao]

I want to change the default location of my OutlookExpress AdressBook from its default location on my C drive to my E drive, so that in case of a reformat, I dont loose all my data. Is there any Tweak or Registry trick how I can make this ???

 

[anandk]

The Windows Address Book used by Outlook Express is normally located in the \Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book Folder

do this :
click start>run>regedit
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name
in the Data col u will c the location address.
change it to the location u want.
reboot.

hope it helps !

incidentally, such registry tricks r avlble in an xclnt e-book "Windows Registry Guide" from www.winguides.com
do check it out ! its a worthwhile download for those wanting to learn registry and registry hacking.
