Checking all contacts subfolders to "Show this folder as an e-mail address book"

I'm using Outlook 2003 with an Exchange 2003 server (no .pst file) and
have about 20 contacts subfolders. Whenever I setup Outlook on a new
computer I have to manually do properties on each contacts subfolder
and check the box for "Show this folder as an e-mail address book"
which is quite tedious. Does anyone know where these settings are
stored i.e a registry entry that could be exported/imported or a file
that could be copied from the old computer?

I know about categories but prefer to do it this way.

Thanks

Like all per-folder settings, this one is keep in the information store. You can script it with the MAPIFolder.ShowAsOutlookAB property.
