Holy crap, it worked. And the repopulation was REALLY fast. Like 10 seconds. No lie. But I only have about 120 contact entries.

Oh, wait, I guess it didn't really finish that fast. There are 313 now. Guess I should check Outlook to see how many I should have.....

No, I didn't do a backup first. Gotta live on the edge.
