Dealing with WAB file in Windows 7
User had an XP machine, lots of addresses in her WAB.
Apparently, there is no way to bring a WAB into OUtlook 2007 on Windows 7?
I downloaded Windows Live Mail, and when I double clicked the WAB, it said those contacts had been imported into my Windows Contacts folder. Which I cannot find (Start, All Programs, no Windows Contacts).
Any ideas?
