I recently got a new computer. I use windows messenger connected to our
corporate exchange server. When I opened my Windows Messenger, my
contacts were gone. I have a backup of my entire old harddrive, and
should be able to restore the files to me new machine. I just need to
know where the contacts are stored and how to restore.

Thanks!
 
They are stored on the Messenger Server. You can access your account
from any computer with Windows Messenger 5.1 installed by entering your
email address and your password. Your contacts will load from the
Messenger server.
