I migrated my XP professional settings to Vista professional (I know I know!)
and when I create an Outlook (Enterprised ed.) email, the To list is empty.  
Drop down Address Book list is empty.  When I click Advanced Find I get modal
dialog "The search cannot be completed.  Tou must have an address list to
search in.  If you don't have an address list contact your Microsoft Exchange
admin."  I don't have Microsoft Exchange.  Under Tools/Account
Settings/Address Book I have Outlook Address Book MAPI but Remove is
disabled.  Under Contacts Folder under Properties, Outlook Address Book tab,
the "Show this folder email address book" check box is disabled.  I have
uninstalled the product and reinstalled it - no luck.  The registry has evil
stuff.  I tried renaming my C:\Users\...\outlook directory,
uninstalled/reinstalled and then Outlook wouldn't run - again the evil
registry entries "remembering" the wrong stuff.

So now I'm at my wit's end.  The only option I see is to reload windows from
scratch to get a clean registry - unless someone can help me figure out how
to activate the "show this folder" button.  Any help would be appreciated.
