    Can't add contacts and contact groups

    The icon for adding contacts or creating contact groups has disappeared from my Windows Mail toolbar. I have tried customising the toolbar but it does not reinstate the icons. What has happened? Where have they disappeared to? They used to be there, but have now vanished. It is very frustrating. Please can someone help?

    Hello Faithcat,

    You will just need to change the folder template for the "C:\Users\(user name)\Contacts" back to "Contacts". This tutorial will show you how to do it if needed.

    Windows Explorer - Folder Type Templates

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Thanks a million for the help. The tutorial was just what I needed and the problem is sorted. Easy when you know how, but I didn't know so was in a pit of ignorance. You have lifted me from my pit. What a star! Thank you.
