~on desktop from patch

Posted: 08-02-2003, 09:07 PM
Downloaded MS 330994 update patch last week and ~ file
appeared on desktop. I was going to remove it but when I
go to add and remove programs it is not there. If I
deleted file from desktop what would happen? Do I need
this thing? Thank you. Frank

Hi Frank,

The "Mysterious Tilde File" usually appears just after you close OE but only
if you made any change to Address Book during this OE session...but not
always. It's usually found on Desktop but on occasion appears at C:\ .
Rename it ~.wab and you'll see it's an exact copy of Address Book.

It first appeared in November '02 with 331923/Cumulative Update for OE6-SP1
which was only available via manual download and with the more recent
330994/April '03 Cumulative Patch for OE, available via Windows Update.
