Cannot add new Contact

[Christine Williams]

Hi,

In the Windows Mail, Contacts window, the New Contact button is missing, in
fact it is treating this folder as a photos folder. I've had this before
and cannot remember where the setting is to make it change the way it treats
this folder... can anyone advise?

Thank you
Christine

If the toolbar in Contacts doesn't have its normal icons,
then the folder type for Contacts is incorrect. To fix it:
Open Windows Contacts. Right-click somewhere in that
empty white space to the far right. Select Customize This Folder,
click the little triangle, and from the dropdown list select Contacts,
then click OK.

Thank you!!! I was right clicking everywhere but in that white space! I
got it now.
