Address Book: File > Export > Address Book (WAB) > Copy the exported WAB
file to CD > Copy the WAB file from the CD to the WinXP HDD (suggest the
desktop for convenience) > Remove the Read Only attribute it will have >
Import into WinXP's Address Book via File > Import > Address Book (WAB),
pointing the wizard to the desktop.
