Contacts Gadget Problems

I decided to try out the sidebar Contacts gadget but can't figure out how to add contacts entries directly into the gadget.

Q1: Do you have to add contacts in the Vista Contacts "folder" or can you add them in the gadget?

Q2: Does anyone know if the widely publicized security vulnerability of the Contacts gadget has been fixed?

Thanks.

Re: Contacts Gadget Problems

Which contacts gadget are you using? Is it one of these? Windows Live Gallery

If you’re using the one that comes recommended when you hit the + button on your sidebar, then yes, you must enter the contacts into your contact folder.

Cheers,

Re: Contacts Gadget Problems

Sure thing. Sorry there isn't an "easier" way to do this. However, entering those contacts in the contacts folder gives you a lot of options throughout Vista for using them.
