Default Moving Address Book

I've got XP MCE, and I use OE. I'd like to move the Address Book and
its associate files from its default location. I've been able to move the
message store folder from D&S, but I can't find a way to move the Address
book.

Is there a registry hack that I should use to set a different location
for it?

Thank you.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name
Change (Default) to the path and file name you want. Make sure you have
already copied your WAB file to that location.
