    Snyc Contacts between Desktops

    I have a Windows Live account. I imported my contacts into my WLM desktop and they automatically synced with the web WLM. Now how can I have other desktops log into web WLM to sync contacts so that if a change is made on any computer it shows up on all.



    BTW after I imported to desktop, I changed one contact on desktop, hit the sync button but he web WLM did not change.

    Install WLM(Windows Live Mail) on the other desktops and to access the same contacts use the same Live ID to sign-in to Windows
    Live.

    There is no 'web' WLM. The web interface is part of the Windows Live web services. Synchronization occurs among the online
    contacts, WLM and also with WLMsgr.

    If you have a Live ID(hotmail.com, live.com, msn.com) then Contacts can be accessed directly or indirectly via .
    a. contacts.live.com
    b. mail.live.com (Hotmail) then click on Contacts
    c. home.live.com (click on People)
    d. calendar.live.com (click on People)
    e. my.live.com (click on Hotmail, then People)
    f. account.live.com (click on People)
    g. profile.live.com (click on People)
    h. skydrive.live.com (click on People)
    I. spaces.live.com
    .....there may be more...I just got tired of listing them...

    If your Live ID is a third party email address registered as a Live ID(e.g. Yahoo.com, Gmail.com, yourisp.com), then contacts are
    accessible in all the above except (b) since it does not have a Hotmail account.
