How so do I import /export my Contacts to Outlook Espress,Main Entity and my
Outlook Address Book. Or How do I restore info from back up or archive with
out doubling everything. I can see my multiple Contacts now but I can't
access them from new Messages in Outlook since I did a return to default
settings which I did because it was having trouble shutting down.

The problem you describe is a common occurrence when moving things around --
the association between the Outlook Contacts folder and the Outlook Address
Book gets broken. To fix it, go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or
change existing directories or address books", and click Next. If you don't
see the OAB in the Directories and Address Books list, click the Back
button, then select "Add a new directory or address book", then "Additional
Address Books", and add the OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back
to the first dialog box, and go back to the Directories and Address Books
list as you did earlier.

Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.
