WinMe and OE6 Address Book
AAH,
The wa~ files are backups or rather copies of the address book prior to when it was last changed however although the dates for your addrbook.wab and addrbook.wa~ are less than a day apart the older backup file is substantially smaller, less than 10% of the current copy which seems somewhat odd unless you spent a considerable amount of time on 28 April adding items to your address book. I'm also somewhat intrigued that your default wab is so much older than its back-up default.wa~. Personally I wouldn't bother deleting the wa~ files as you will most likely find they return when you next make a change to your address book. -- Mike Maltby AAH wrote: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book Files:- ADDRBOOK WAB 2,263,397 28/04/09 17:31 ADDRBOOK WA~ 213,166 27/04/09 19:38 DEFAULT WAB 379,834 24/11/06 4:20 DEFAULT WA~ 203,448 15/06/09 1:46 Do the files with ext .WA~ have any value or could be deleted.

Thanks for your advice. The oldest file is one of the earlier backups. "Mike M" wrote in message ...
