I had to reinstall windows 2000 on my machine. I had the inbasket on an
external usb drive so I have all my email back but now I need my ADDRESS BOOK
BACK! I did back up the system before the F11 reinstall but I don't know
where to look for the address book. On the current system if I do a search
for *.wab, nothing is found.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
