deleting unwanted contacts

[Tassie]

Hi! I installed win live messenger v. 2008 [ build 8.5. 1302.1018] and it
looks great. I like it, but it has put all my contacts from hotmail contacts
into messenger contacts.

And when I right click on the contacts and click "delete" I get the message;
"This contact is shared by hotmail, if you delete contacts, they will also be
deleted from hotmail contacts"

There doesn't seem to be a way to just get rid of them from Messenger,
but still have them in my hotmail contacts.

The "help" section doesn't answer this problem. I don't want to just
"block" them. There are too many.

Another problem is that when I put a new contact in hotmail contacts,
it also, goes into messenger contacts.

Please, has any one else handled this difficulty?

Hi Tassie
You can filter your contacts to display messenger contacts only. To filter
them follow these steps: 1- From the menu bar at messenger window, open
(Contacts) menu and choose (Filter Contacts).
2- Then choose (Messenger Contacts Only).
So Hotmail contacts will not be displayed. Just messenger contacts.
Hope it helps
