Re-build XP address book

Vista wiped my old OE address book, despite it being an upgrade
installation. Does anyone know :


1. Will the old .wab file be on the PC somewhere (a search doesn't find it)
?

2. Is there any software (that definitely works with Vista and is free as I
only need it once) that will export or "grab" email address from my old Sent
Items folder (which I managed to salvage) and convert them into address book
entries in Windows Mail.


I know I can do this manually by selecting each message and adding to
address book, but this can't apparently be done as a batch and I have over
1100 items to work through.

Any help appreciated

Search for *.wab and make sure you include hidden files in the search. If
you don't find it then try searching for *~* and if you find something give
it a wab file extension and click on it and see if it opens.
