Contacts folder looks like Pictures folder

In Windows Contacts (Vista), I don't have the toolbar that allows me to add a
"New Contact Group". My Contacts folder looks like a pictures folder. I
imported my Contacts folder from Windows XP.

Hi Diane,

Yes, you will just need to change the folder template for the Contacts folder back to Contacts.
