Have you ever received an email message that had an attachment with the .vcf file extension? These files are called "vCards". vCards store contact information and allow you to easily integrate this information into the address books of many email programs (such as Outlook and Outlook Express). Here's how you create a vCard in Outlook Express:

1. Open Outlook Express, click the Tools menu and then click Address Book.
2. Click on one of the entries in your address book. You've probably already made an address book entry for yourself, so click on that one. Now click on the File menu, point to Export and click on Business card (vCard).
3. In the Export as Business Card (vCard) dialog box, type in a name for the vCard (usually the person's name) and save it to your Desktop. Click Save. You can now attach this vCard to any email message you send.
4. If you want to include your own vCard on all outgoing mail, open Outlook Express, click the Tools menu and then click the Options command.
5. In the Options dialog box, click the Compose tab. In the Business Cards frame, put a checkmark in the Mail checkbox. Click the down arrow in the drop down list box and select your name. You can change the information in your vCard by clicking on the Edit button.
6. Click Apply and then click OK to finish.
