I don't use hotmail nor do I synchronize.  I would have to figure it out
the same way you need to figure it out-- except that you want to do it
and I don't, so I suggest that you read the faq and experiment.  Be
careful and don't break your registry without having it backed up.

The Address Book registry key
|-HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|----Software
|-------Microsoft
|----------WAB

The first sub-key "Synchronization" keeps track of the last
synchronization between the WAB and a Hotmail address book on the
Hotmail server. You will see a sub-key for each Hotmail account in the
current Identity whose address book has been synchronized. The "WAB Sort
State" stores the sorting order you have established in the WAB. The
WAB4\LastFind sub-key stores the history for the Find People function.

The final key, "WAB4\Wab File Name", deserves special attention, as this
is where OE stores the path and file name for the *.wab file being used.
You can change the location of the WAB only by editing the path stored
here. (see also How to move your Address Book and Multiple WABs).

The Address Book key, like the *.wab file itself, is shared by all
Identities.
