contacts, microsoft mail

When I invoke contacts, I get a regular explor type window that will not
allow me to add contacts. The page does not look anything like the page that
is shown when you ask help about contacts.

Re: contacts, microsoft mail

If the toolbar in Contacts doesn't have all the options, then the
folder type for Contacts is incorrect. Try this:
Open Windows Contacts. Right-click somewhere in that
empty white space to the far right. Select Customize This Folder,
click the little triangle, and from the dropdown list select Contacts,
then click OK.

Hello Ian,

This can help show you how to restore the "New Contact" button.

"New Contact" and "New Contact Group" Button Missing

Hope this helps,
Shawn
