I will be doing maintenance task on a P4 2.0 GHz 512 MB WinXP Home.  This
will involve complete clean up of an 80 Gig HD, wipe out everything and
clean install WinXp.  No problem there.  However, I was requested to
preserve the Address Book and Contact List in Outlook Express.  I know that
this deal with the existing wab files which I plan to copy to a CD.  To
accomplish what I am asked to do, would reloading these files (wab) from the
CD back to OE (after the XP's clean install) do the trick as requested?
Will the address book automatically reload if I copy the files to replace
the new OE installed?  Does this call for OE's Import Option?

Thank you for your time and help.
