Remarks

For versions of the Windows Address Book (WAB) in Internet Explorer 4 and earlier, the default Windows Address Book (WAB) container represented the entire address book; all address book contents could be accessed through this container.

For Windows Address Book (WAB) clients that specify a profile-aware Windows Address Book (WAB) session using Internet Explorer 5 and later, the default Windows Address Book (WAB) container corresponds to the current identity's default Contacts folder. As long as an application calls IAddrBook::GetPAB and manipulates data in the PAB container, all the data will automatically be manipulated within the current Identities folder.

For Windows Address Book (WAB) clients that do not request profile-aware sessions, the container returned by IAddrBook::GetPAB corresponds to the Contacts folder (if there is no Identity Manager) or the Shared Contacts folder (if Identities exist). This folder is available to all Windows Address Book (WAB) users. Application developers who are not interested in profiles can be assured that all their data manipulation in the PAB container is available to all users.
