Shortcut on the desktop of contacts in windows 7-windows live mail

My new computer replacement provided with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail installed as my email client.  I have been using it and it.  I was also put my contacts in the folder of Live Mail contacts within this program.  Since the file allows other information in addition to the email, I would like to use as my contacts folder by default/hand/don't touch that file, but I want to have a shortcut on the desktop to access the full file of contacts directly without having to open the complete e-mail program.  I tried in vain to drag a copy to the desktop, locate the program in live mail and create the shortcut to a file that opens the list of contacts.  I also noted and found a file of contacts under c/users/chick who looks like and contains the same information on a contact (it has the face of the same user) identical to the contacts in the folder of Windows Live e-mail but does not contain contact information that I already have in the program Live Mail and apparently isn't the same folder.  How can I create a shortcut on my desktop that opens just the contacts folder in the windows program live mail?  I could also ask the same question on the calendar in windows live mail.  Thank you, chick.

  • How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail on XP

    I searched for this answer for the last 2 hours.  All the answers are for Vista & Windows 7.   How to export my Windows Live Mail addresses so that I can use in Thunderbird?  I'm moving to Thunderbird because quick view is off & on display unread messages.  They watch for a few days, then stop broadcasting.  Then repeat for a few days, then stop again.  This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.
    But back to my original question.  How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.  When I click on the file to export and then export, there is nothing highlighted.   So, how can I get my contacts?  Or is there another way to do otherwise than through WLM >

    Thank you

    How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.

    Open the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the folders pane. On the file menu, click export , and then select comma separated (CSV) values. If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT.

    Note that the last statement on the help page (Export contacts) is wrong: by dragging the window contacts contacts on the desktop doesn't create any kind of file. In version 12 and 15, this produces a vCard (.vcf) file for each contact, but not in the version 14 (WLMail) 2009.

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate. In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.

    Open Contacts and select all (Ctrl + A), then file | Print. But this will be use a lot of paper. To keep, open Contacts and file | Export | Choose the CSV format, then follow the prompts. Save it wherever you like and print from there.

  • How can I organize my contacts in Windows Live Mail

    I am moving from XP Outlook Express for Windows 7 Windows Live Mail and I don't see any way to organize my contacts in different folders as I in OE. I have folders for different 'classes' of contacts - friends, parents, co-workers, etc. etc. When I send an email it almost always goes to a subset of one of these classes if I click on 'to', then select the analysis file it and drag the appropriate contacts "for", "cc" or "BCC". I need to see them all remind me which ones I want to sent to-I don't always have names at hand.

    It seems that with WLM I have to browse ALL my contacts of 200 or more for every email! As you can imagine, this makes it practically unusable WLM. I know that I can create groups, but it is to send a message to ALL members of a group. I rarely do.

    Please let me know if I'm wrong about this. If it's really as I've described, it appears as a problem and is being developed and there will be a solution in the coming months? If this isn't the case, I'll have to search for an another e-mail client.

    Start by creating a category in contacts in Windows Live Mail:

    1. Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the Contacts .
    2. Click the arrow next to new , and then select the category .
    3. Select the contacts for this category, and click Save .

    When you want to send a message:

    1. Opening of the Contacts .
    2. Click on the category.
    3. Hold down the CTRL key and click on who should receive the message.
    4. Right click on one of them, and then click Send Email .

  • I need to disable the slide show feature in Windows Live Mail 2011

    I asked the question back here December 7:

    I have a list of disks that I send that contains some pictures. Is there a way to disable the slide show feature is not there when I send this list. Also - for some reason, it is much more difficult to add to my list because I went from Windows Outlook to Windows Live Mail 2011. No idea why it is difficult to make additions to my list?  Thanks - Bob
     
    It was the response I received from Michael Santovec:
     
    (1) turn off picture messaging
    WLM 2011: ALT + F, Options, mail, compose - uncheck: message to convert to e-mail photo when you add photos

    While composing
    WLM 2011: Insert (ALT + I), simple Photo or attach file

    There is a solution to avoid the send from Windows Explorer forcing picture messaging in WLM 2011 despite the program settings.

    When you select to send, accompanied of a record no graphic images.  This could be just a file dummy.txt which is located in the same folder.

    You will always have the ability to resize the images, but they find themselves attached instead of a mail of the photo.  You can then right click on the file dummy.txt and remove it from the message before sending it.

    An another workaround if you are connected with a Live ID account in WLM is right click on the album in the message composition window, then left click on the tab tools of Photo Album that highlights in the Ribbon, and then the trombone to convert attachments.

    Now, I'm not much more than a 'computer' man so maybe I did something wrong but the instructions above do not work. And now things have become even worse:

    -now, I try to download my list several times before it actually works. Most of the time part of the page or the whole page becomes completely black.

    -the few times that I can send my page and send him off to someone it takes about 5 to 6 minutes to go from my Outbox sent items.

    I really need to turn off the slide show feature in my windows Live Mail 2011, otherwise I'll have fet another e-mail provider that is not something I want to do. I really don't like the new look of WLM 2011, but this problem with the slideshow feature drives me crazy. Any help here will be greatly appreciated - Bob

    P.S. I thought to return to Outlook from Windows, but since I am on Windows 7 is apparently not an option.
