Can somebody tell me the name and location of the file
that holds the address book? I have reinstall the outlook
and imported the contacts from a comma delimited file, all
of the contacts appear on the contact folder but when I
open a new message window and click on the TO: button to
add recipients a message saying that the address book
could not be found and after that it shows a window asking
for the proper list to show in a drop down list; that drop
down list says 3 times the word "contacts" and if I select
the second then all the contacts would appear but I don't
know who to make it the default option so I can get rid of
the error message.

please help me!!

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
2 questions here;

#1The Contacts folder is contained in the pst-file that holds all your
folders

To locate your pst-file
Make sure you include hidden and system files and folders when searching for
pst-file.

By default it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\

You can also locate the file by using
Rightclick the root folder (probably Outlook Today)-> Properties-> button
Advanced-> field Filename

#2 You can remove aditional addresslists in Tools-> Address Book and in
Address Book; Tools-> Options
