Lost "Add Contact" Button in (Vista) Windows Contacts

[Guest]

Had a button and lost it. I cannot simply click on "Add Contact" to make an
entry in Windows Contacts. The button is gone.

I can add a contact from Windows Mail, but if I want to make a totally new
entry in Windows Contacts, I simply cannot do it. The facility button is
gone. I have explored all possibilities available to me without success.
And although there seemed to be a potentially worthwhile thread in this
newsgroup, it petered out.

I have even resorted to System Restore without any success.

Again, simply stated: How do I recover the "Add Contact" button in Windows
Contacts (Vista).

Thank you in advance for help, encouragement, sympathy or solution.

Here is my standard reply, which I have posted at least 4 times today.......

Your Contacts folder has apparently switched from it's proper default
template.
Open Contacts
Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
ok

thanks
to you.
