Every few days I make a hard drive backup to another drive using Norton
Ghost, and occasionally, with spyware, malware etc (Yes I do have good cover
against such stuff but sometimes some creeps through) I do a restore from my
last good disc image.

I know that I can alter the store location for my Outlook Express e-mail
messages, and I use a folder on different drive altogether, so that if I have
to restore from an image file, I will still have my current e-mail messages.

Is there any way in which I can alter the store location of my address book
to use that same folder, so that I don't have to keep making backups in case
my system crashes.
