Not that I know of. You'll need to set Contacts template back to Contacts
to access 'New Contact' button, etc.

Under XP, it was more annoying to use this because if you wanted a folder to
be Music, you could switch the template to Music, but you still had the
general columns. Vista will switch the columns when you switch the
templates.
