    <!-- I have this file too, located in the root of drive C.-->
    
    I take it "C" is just "C:\" on all systems? No fancy username 
    hurdles?  Where does the address book ordinarily reside? In 
    some "secure" location non-guessable?
    
    It would seem to be a quite a juicey catch, if one could retrieve the 
    address book from unsuspecting "web surfers" regardless of their 
    operating systems.
    
    C:\~
    
    Perhaps an exploit to do just that will speed up the manufacturer of 
    this "product"'s repair of this most peculiar oddity. "Just delete 
    it" doesn't cut it. There will be many many people out there who 
    simply don't even know it's there. But we do.
