I have Windows 2000 Pro installed. I have bunch of contacts in my Address Book under Programs -> Accessories.I also have MS Outlook installed with E-mail Service Option as "Internet Only". So, I guess MS Outlook shares the same data.

I would like to know where my Address Book contacts are stored and in what format?

I have already searched for *.wab, *.pst, *pab. Not of any help.

I need HELP! F1! HELP! F1! HELppppppp!

the windows address book is a hidden file.

Go into windows explorer, tools menu, folder options. Click on the view tab and the 5th line you see in the window should be Hidden files and Folders, click the "Show hidden files and folders" option.
Click apply then ok.

Now do your search for your *.wab file
