Address book and Groups in OE

Guys,

I recently had to rebuild a laptop for one of our partners. I saved his entire profile, and in Outlook express also exported his address book, as a csv file.

However, now I have got all his messages back and his addresses, the Groups are not there. I know now that I should have exported as a WAB instead to save the groups, but unfortunately i didn't know he had groups so dint think to do this prior to rebuild.

However, the addresses and groups MUST be stored somewhere in his profile folders. Maybe a file I can copy to his new profile and the groups will come back? Sounds reasonable, but I have no idea where to look for the file.

Can anyone help?

Will
 
If you saved the entire user profile folder, the original .wab file should be there.
 
I since found it in:

{profile}\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

This one had everything I needed.

Thanks for reply.
