So now we know TB doesn't create a new addrbook.ini when it couldn't
find one.

Glad to hear that.

Yup. It's a dilemma between easier central control or more end user
freedom. By storing registry entries under the HKCU key, TB opted
for the latter. RIT has said they plan to abandon the registry
someday, but we're still waiting. And the problem won't disappear
when TB switches to ini-only approach, though with better design it
can be minimized.
