| | contactcoll.cache in Contacts folder? Hi! I use the Vista Contacts folder a lot, and I try to keep Live Messenger/Live Mail contacts seperate. I know Messenger adds contacts to that folder in a hidden folder, but I still have a contactcoll.cache file in the main Contacts folder. I don't know what this does, but is it okay to set it's attribute to Hidden? Thanks! |

| | Re: contactcoll.cache in Contacts folder? Hi, Just to add, what version of Messenger are you using? In 8.5 the contactcoll should be in that hidden folder (or is that what you meant)?
