There is no icon for adding or removing a person's picture in my contacts
folder, and yet Windows Help and Support says, "You can add pictures to your
contacts, making it easier to identify and remember people when you look up
their contact information. Windows adds a default image for each contact,
which you can change to any picture or graphic you want." I do not have a
"change picture" or "remove picture" icon. How can you help me?

Open the Contacts folder>right click a blank area within the
folder>customise this folder>select 'Contacts' from the drop down list of
File Types>Apply
 
Thank you, Mac,
The problem is that there is no "add picture" or "remove picture" icon
anywhere!

Do you have the 3 column view showing in the contacts folder?
If so select a contact and then double click it.
You should see a dropdown pointer that gives you the options.
 
Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. There is simply no opportunity to
add or change a picture, no matter what I do! Strange, because I know tons of
people that have that ability.

Thanks for trying!!

Sounds like you're using Windows Live Mail, not Windows Mail.

In Windows Mail you can edit a contact, and under the photo box, click on
the little down arrow.

In Windows Live Mail, it only shows photos of contacts signed into Live
Messenger (or some such thingy). It shows the photo they added, you can't
add one.

Thanks Dave, that explains it.

Another victim of the M$ Application "Naming" farce!!!
