Address Book/IE 6 problem

When I go to the Internet Properties | Programs tab, I cannot find
anything in the Contact List field.

I had Outlook 2003 installed, and at that time Microsoft Office Outlook
and Address Book were both there.

I uninstalled Outlook (Address Book not shared with Outlook Contacts).
Since then, Address Book nor any other choice appears in the Programs |
Contact List field, just a blue filler.

I have run SFC /scannow, but that didn't help. Any clues?
 
Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4

If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook and is its value set
to 1 (one)?

If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook, even if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office).
Change the value to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available to you and
all should be well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't create it, and
don't alter any other DWORD values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.
