Vista - Problem with pictures in Windows Contacts

Hi!

I'm using Windows Contacts for managing my contacts, and I'm
encountering a problem.

A few months ago I already added some pictures to my contacts and
they were embedded into the .contact file (Base64 encoded I think).

Now when I want to add a picture to a contact, the picture is not
embedded into the .contact file. There's just a "link" to the image
(for example, D:\avatar.png) in the file, which is a problem because
I want to delete the picture files after I added them to my
contacts.

How I add pictures:

1. I go to the contacts folder in Windows Explorer
2. I double-click on the contact I want to change
3. On the "Name and E-Mail"-tab, I click on the empty picture and
select "Change picture"
4. I select the picture I want to use and press OK

I really have no clue what's the cause of this, Google doesn't know
either.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
greeny
