Windows Contacts

[John Kelly]

In Windows Contacts The only menu items I have are "Organiz3", Views" and
"Burn". Where are the other buttons (eg Organise Contacts) and how do I get
them back?

Other explorer windows have buttons specific to their content (eg those
containg images have "Slide Show").

If it's of use, the contents of the desktop.ini are:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%CommonProgramFiles%\system\wab32res.dll,-10100
InfoTip=@%CommonProgramFiles%\system\wab32res.dll,-10200
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-181


Thanks

John

Right-click the folder and select 'Properties'

In the 'Properties' dialog, select the 'Customize' tab.

Under 'What kind of folder do you want?', select the 'Contacts' template.

I tried this shortly after posting. Strange that it wasn't setup like this
out of the box.

You're welcome. I imagine that was some sort of hiccup on your machine or
we'd see more posts asking this question.
