Re: strange second copy of address book

If I do a search for *.wab, I find two copies of the address book on my computer.
One is the standard one that I use which is in C:\documents & settings\{my name}\application data\Microsoft\address book
The second one is supposed to be in C:\documents & settings\all users\documents.
But there is no "visible" folder called documents under all users.
(I have all hidden and system files shown as well as protected files).

If I enter "WAB" in the RUN command I get the standard address book.
If I enter "WAB /a" in the RUN command I get the second address book. (which is way out of date).

What is going on here? and how can I clear the second, out-of-date, address book from the computer?
Would I screw the system up if I just deleted the second address book from the "search" listing?

Running Windows XP HE with SP2
OE and IE 6.


They are the same Address Book. The first command gives you your normal look. The second gives everything in it.

Is it out of date because it is showing you everything you have deleted?
