Problems deleting email addresses from address book

[Ken]

I use Windows Mail and I have tried by several of the usual ways to delete
individual entries but every time an error message comes up with "Windows
Explorer has stopped working" and not possible.

Last time the only way I could do it was to delete the address book and so
when I started Windows mail it started a new one. I had to re-input the data
which was a ruddy nuisance.

Any ideas of what I could try next?

Tried that but still the same error problem.

Where did you try to delete them? Inside of Windows Mail?
Try going to Windows Explorer to the Contacts folder and
delete there, see if there is any difference.

No error code and nothing else other than Windows has stopped working.

However I have come across others with same problems when googling and found
a work around which will do for me. Open contact book> right click>drag it
to the recycle bin. I should of thought of that before.

But many thanks for your help.

Thanks again

You are welcome. Glad you found a workaround.

Here is a program that works most of the time for any
file/folder that refuses to delete - freeware:

'KillBox.Net' (http://killbox.net/)

Read the directions on the help page about how to use it.
