Windows Mail toolbar in Contacts/add a new contact

[Mike]

On my Windows Mail Contacts page there used to be a box for me to add a new
contact, I am not sure what happened but now it is no longer there, how do I
get this back? Why did it suddenly go away? Also, when I right click on my
toolbar in Contacts, nothing happens, yet when I right click on my toolbar in
my Windows Mail-Inbox I get lots of options, likewise on my toolbar in
explorer, should I not get options on my tool bar when I am in my contacts?

(boilerplate reply).....

When you have the Contacts folder open, you should have a button on the
toolbar for "New Contact" and "New Contact Group". If you don't see these
buttons, perhaps the
folder template got changed, as it sometimes does...
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
OK

-- I don't have the new contract group button. I follow your instructions
to go to customize and am sure contact icon has been added to toolbar. But
when I click on it all I get is the list of contacts What am I missing?

I think you sometimes have to restart Windows Mail afterwards to
see all the effects of such changes.

Also, I found this discussion of such a problem, so you might want
to check if it gives any more details:
