Question XP address book question

hello,
I'm trying to get the address book to display extra info.
at the moment i have these columns:
Name, e-mail address, home phone number, and mobile number.
I want to add more columns ie: business number and any thing else i fancy to the menu, but i cant seem to find the option anywhere.
i see if you right click over home phone or mobile you can change the option but not add new columns.
Address book Help is as useless as ever.
Any one know how to do this??

TIA
JP

You can't do it. Windows Address Book only allows those four columns. It's great design on M$'s part.

The XP address book (or Windows Address book) is a feature poor version of the Outlook addressbook that allows you to customize your views.

If you have Outlook use the "Contacts" it will allow full customization.
