Vista - Creating Group Contacts

Creating Group Contacts

I want to create a Group Contact which would contain several individual
contacts from my existing contact list. Microsoft Help says to "Open the
Contact List and on the Toolbar click New Contact Group".

I don't have a Toolbar item that says "New Contact Group" and there isn't
one in the Toolbar organizer.

A right click on my Contacts list only gives me a "New" option and no "New
Contact Group" option.

Anyone have any ideas where I might find "New Contact Group"?

I'm using Vista Ultimate with all latest updates and Windows Mail
v6.0.6000.16386.

Re: Creating Group Contacts

When you open Contacts, there should be buttons for New Contact, New Contact
Group, Import and Export.

If you don't have these, Vista has probably changed the folder template.

Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder"
in the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
ok

I used your suggestion...."Customize this folder" and clicked on Contacts
and then I hit apply. It added the exact Icons I needed and fixed my
problem.

Thank you very much, your help is greatly appreciated!
Again, THANK YOU!
