| | How can I copy my address book/contacts from windows mail? I have Windows Vista on both my desktop and laptop and I'm using windows mail on both. I setup my address book/contacts on my laptop first, I have not setup any contacts on the desktop, is there a way I can copy the same contacts within the laptop to the desktop without having to put them in one by one like I did on the laptop? |

Copy the entire contents of the C:\Users\username\Contacts\ folder from your laptop, then paste it into the same location on your desktop. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "imfirst" <imfirst@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F2A1FF5D-9508-4106-A8C3-695E0619430B@xxxxxx Quote: >I have Windows Vista on both my desktop and laptop and I'm using windows mail > on both.

| | Re: How can I copy my address book/contacts from windows mail? I don't mean to sound incompetent, but I don't get it. Can you give me step by step instructions on how to do that? I went to the start menu, computer, OS (C , user, username, contacts. Then I clicked on organize, select all,copy, but I'm lost after that. You say to paste it into the same location on the desktop, but how do I do that since I'm actually copying from the laptop, how can I paste it in the same location on the desktop? I tried coping the information into an email to send to the desktop, but it would not paste the contacts.

| | Re: How can I copy my address book/contacts from windows mail? If your two computers are not networked, you will need to use some intermediate media, like a flash drive, that you can carry between the two computers. Don't you have a friend or relative who can show you how to copy files? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "imfirst" <imfirst@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:2239D0E5-1AFF-468C-A30B-3F3AB807557F@xxxxxx Quote: >I don't mean to sound incompetent, but I don't get it.
