• Software "Windows Contacts" does not exist in my Vista

  I finally decided to try Windows Contacts (formerly address book) in Vista. But the software does not exist among my many Windows program files. It is possible that I deleted the software somehow. I tried to find a way to download just this Microsoft software, but don't find any option to do. Any ideas? Thank you 1 million.

  Hi debussymuir,

  Windows contact is not software, so there is no option to download. Windows contact is a contact manager that is implemented in a special folder in Windows Vista. It's in the Start Menu of Windows Vista.

  Windows in Windows XP address book has been replaced by the Windows touch in Windows Vista. Windows contacts has all the features of the old Windows address book, as well as some new features, such as the ability to add pictures to your contacts.

  To access the Windows Contacts:

  Open Windows Contacts by clicking Start , allprograms, and then clicking Windows Contacts.

• Cannot organize Windows Contacts by last name

  When I open Windows Contacts, the contacts are all sorted by first name (the full name, in fact).  Is it possible to sort/organize the list of contacts by last name?  This is how most people organize their address books.

  Not with Windows Contacts, the feature set is not very good.  Best thing to do is to Download Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail replacement, allowing you to sort by last name, in addition it is secured for contacts, in general, is much more functional.

• Windows contacts - import categories in Outlook 2002

  I have converted my Outlook 2002 contacts into a CSV file asnd successfully imported to Windows Mail. The problem is that my categories disappeared. I have over two thousand contacts grouped in categories 50 or so different in Outlook - but the contacts appear in "Windows Contacts" not categorized (ie: there is a category "not specified" containing all contacts).  It is too difficult to re - categorize each contact. I suspect that it is a mapping problem in the way that I exported Outlook contacts in the CSV file (actually I have no mapping as such during the export - I ignored the button "custom fields" and got on the export). Can anyone help please? If you can solve this - line-by-line instructions simple would be appreciated my abilities limited geeks! Thank you.

  And Windows Mail does not support categories... Yes, it has a column labeled as such, but it does not work.  If you want categories, either get Windows Live Mail, or continue to use Outlook.

• How to organize my "windows contacts" and alphabetize by family name?

  I use Vista.  "Windows contacts", I had my contact names in alphabetical order by family name.  When I downloaded Explorer 8, my contacts are now in alphabetical order by "name".  How can I change to the listed contacts and alphabetically by "last name" again?

  Hi Theodore,

  You can try the following steps and check.

  Right-click on the column header bar and select 'more' and check the option ' name'. The column is displayed. You can drag it where you want and sort upwards or downwards by clicking on the header.

  Alternatively, you can try the following steps.

  a. right click on the Contacts folder.

  b. change the display «Détails»

  c. right-click on the 'name' column header, click on "First name", then click on 'Last Name'

  d. click the title "Last Name" to sort by there.

• Windows contacts does not work correctly.

  I have synced my HTC Evo to Windows Contacts.  I wanted to add contacts through my computer and then transfer to my phone I thought it would be easier (keyboard real vs knocking on the phone with fingers).  The problem is that my Windows Contacts opens and it doesn't have the complete list of options (add contacts, etc.). -It shows it as being a photo program (wants to burn or slide show).  How can I fix it?  I opened the program of the said Web page how to (Start menu > all programs > windows contacts).  On the screen shot here, I noticed that there is another icon in the menu bar indicating the location on the computer that the icon that I have in my menu bar.

  If the toolbar in Contacts doesn't have its normal icons, then the type of folder for Contacts is incorrect. To fix:
  Open windows contacts. Right-click somewhere in this empty white space to the right. Select Customize this folder,
  Click on the small triangle in the drop-down list, select Contacts, and then click OK.

• How to keep Windows Contacts to update if you use Windows Live Mail... only for iphone

  Dear people of MS,

  The guys at tech Windows Live forum helped me as much as they could, but suggested I bring my topic to give you is a question re: Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM).

  Anyway, I had a computer crash on my Vista computer (all data had been backed up fine - it is) but in the meantime I bought a notebook with Windows 7 above. I started to use WL Mail on my new computer and when I finally got my old a return of the boutique (Vista), I downloaded WL Mail so that I would use same program of electronic mail on both computers. It makes sense to me.

  However, I have since discovered that when my iphone syncs with my computer, it only picks up the contacts of my Contacts from Windows Messaging folder, and * not * those of my WL Mail one.

  Question: what do I do if I want to keep my Windows Mail contacts up to date, ensuring that all new Contacts that I have receipt/get through WLM are also in my Windows Contacts so that when I sync my iphone the iphone is up-to-date with Windows Contacts.

  Windows Mail Contacts are so easy to see and then move that WL those who are not. It's horrible!

  Can you please help - after reading a lot of posting on the website of Windows Live, I'm assuming that I need to import the WL Contacts in Contacts in Windows Messaging is that correct? Is there anything else I should know or should do?

  Thank you very much.

  Best,

  Psych :)

  Hey Psych13 and Gary,.

  Looks like you two neglected, first paragraph, of Halima. Just to summarize his position, it is not possible to synchronize contacts between Windows Live Mail and Windows Contacts. They don't like each other, there's bad blood there. :)

  Assuming that you have different contacts Contacts Windows and your Windows Live Mail, the third link posted Halima will help you to consolidate your contacts in a single application.

  And assuming that you need help to set up your iPhone to sync with Windows Live Mail, you can use the fourth link for help.

  Let me know if you have any questions!
