| | Re: Moved Contacts folder to Windows Directory and cant move it back Your Contacts folder should be placed somewhere under C:\Users\(Your Name), or on another drive. Don't place user shell folders (the special folders with the special icons) in the C:\Windows folder. To Move the Contacts folder, try Cut and Paste. To reset the folder type for the Windows folder (that is, when it's showing inappropriate tasks in the toolbar), you'll have to do this: In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU Then right-click on the key BagMRU, in the left-hand pane, and choose delete. Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags Right-click on the key Bags, in the left-hand pane, and choose delete. Log off and log back on to Windows to re-create the keys (done automatically), and start anew. This will reset all your folders to the default templates.
