Yes, this is a known issue. It is 'backup' of the WAB [windows
address book], created by one of the recent patch installations for
Internet Explorer or Outlook Express[cannot recall which one -- there
are so many --], but the creation date on this machine for the file
is: May 13, 2003 10:49:58 AM and modification date of Tuesday, June
