entering and using multiple e-mail addresses for one contact in the address book in Outlook Express
Some of my contacts asking me to send emails to all addresses. Because I can enter several e-mail addresses for a contact in my address book, how can I get the automatic address entry button to enter more than one address for a contact and not only the default address?
You will need to have separate lists (and names) for each address in address book. For example...
NovemberGirl novembergirl [AT] [email protected]
HotmailNovemberGirl novembergirl [AT] hotmail.com
YahooNovemberGirl novembergirl [AT] yahoo.com

How to set the priority of the contacts or address book in Outlook Express 6?
When I type in the name of a recipient in the "to:" field and press 'Send' or press the button 'Find people', Outlook express automatically look in the address book "Shared Contacts" and not "the main identity Contacts' address book and takes the bad contact for this purpose. Can I change this, then it looks in the 'main identity Contacts' address book first? I use an exchange e-mail account. Outlook Express 6. Windows XP service pack 3. Thank you for having a look! Please let know us if you want me to be more specific. See you soon!

Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
For WLMail 2009: Open list of Contacts in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
WLMail 2011/2012: switch to the contacts window (click on the book icon to the address at the foot of the folders pane, or press Ctrl-3). Click on the import button, select address book (wab) Windows and point on where it was saved.

The upgrade to Windows XP?
Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.
Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).
More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.
1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.
2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.
3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.
4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."
5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.
If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.
