Here on the work computer there is a long list of email addresses that are out of date. They come up when I press the initial.
There's an inhouse work directory, which is not a problem, but how do I delete the others?

Outlook Express?

The Addresses are all in the .wab file.

You can search for it and delete it if you have nothing to save. It will be recreated anew on next start.

And or:

There isn't a way to automatically weed out unwanted entries from the
Windows Address Book. It might be easier to export the address book as a
comma-separated values file, then edit (remove) the entries in Notepad (or
Excel). This file could be used to import the new list into the address book
after clearing the entries. Keep a copy of the original exported file safe
(as a backup) and work from a copy. It's probably easier to just delete the
unwanted entries from address book.


To overcome this (auto-fill) issue I use an HTML file with mailto links. An
added attraction is it can be nicely indexed, too.

Oy, what a runaround... Trust Windows to make simple things difficult.
Thanks, jeph.

Uh-oh... is Microsoft Outlook the same as Outlook Express? MO seems to be the program that handles our emails.

No. They are completely different creatures. Outlook is part of Office whereas Outlook Express is part of all Windows Operating Systems.

A .pab file contains Personal Address Book for Outlook. A .wab file is the address book for Outlook Express.
