Windows Address Book was a component of Microsoft Windows that lets users keep a single list of contacts that can be shared by multiple programs.[1] It is most commonly used by Outlook Express. It was introduced with Internet Explorer 3 in 1996 and improved in subsequent versions.[2] The Windows Address Book API can query LDAP servers or read/write data to a local .wab file. In Windows Vista, Windows Address Book was replaced with Windows Contacts.
