If you have installed the cumulative update for OE, each time
a contact is added to your address book, a file named "~" is
created on your desktop when you exit OE or your address book.
It is just a COPY of your Windows Address Book (*.wab).
It is caused by the update for OE Q331923 (now Q330994).
Microsoft are supposedly working on a fix.
