I   have   a   better idea. Put it in a directory you create yourself,
ideally on a different partition from the Windows partition, and
not in any of the directories created by Windows itself.

So here's what I recommend, close TB!.
Copy the ADDRBOOK.INI from its location in Program Files to the location in 
AppData.
Open TB!.
Open the Address Book.
In the Address Book window, select the File menu, then select Load Address Book 
Set...
Browse to the location of the ADDRBOOK.INI in the AppData location (the one 
that you just copied, so it should be up to date) and load that Address Book.
Hopefully now, TB! will continue to load that Address Book and you shouldn't 
have any problems with write permissions.

I believe the escelated privileges on the Program Files folders was added in 
Windows 8. Personally, I consider this a good thing, Program Files should only 
contain the files necessary to run applications. Data for an application should 
be stored in the Registry or in the current user's "home" directory. This is a 
very similar set up to the *nix operating systems. The added benefit is, when 
backing data up, you should only have to worry about backing up your user's 
home directory.

Good luck!

Curious, I did a search for my addressbook file. I found two that matched (sort
of) the file in question. One was C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\The
Bat!\ADDRBOOK.INI and the other was C:\Program Files (x86)\The
Bat!\jackADDRBOOK.INI. The most recent write to either file was the latter,
today, so I assume that's the working file. The last write to the former was way
back in Aug of 2015 so I don't think that's a valid file. I remember trying to
learn more about the address books some time ago and that file may have been one
I created in my learning quest. So much for cleaning up after yourself.

As a test, just now I changed the name of the C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Roaming\The
Bat!\ADDRBOOK.INI file and then opened the address book while in TB!, made some
changes and then closed the address book without any difficulty. So, that, 
coupled
with the ancient write date leads me to believe that that file is not part of
the working TB!

So you would be correct in your assumption that my address book is housed in the
Program Files (x86) folder where apparently you need administrator privileges to
write to that file. But, I'm now sure that it has always been in that folder and
yet I've never needed administrator privileges prior to upgrading to Win 10.
Thank you so much Mr. Gates.

I suspect Jack would find it was just for the write permission to a
folder under the "C:\Program Files (x86)" directory. His
ADDRESSBOOK.INI is in his TB! program folder, mine is in my Mail
folder. Probably the file can be moved but I am not sure how to tell
TB! to look in the new location. Or if you try to save to a folder
where you don't have write permission, you can use an Administrator
password to permanently give you write permission (at least, that's
what happens for me with Windows 10).

The non-deliverance messages she is receiving is due to badly configured mail
