| | Windows Mail Contacts Lost File Association When I try to double click on a contact in my Contacts folder in Vista, I am prompted to select a program for file association. The files are *.Contact. The Contacts folder is properly customized as a 'Contacts' folder. The Contacts related icons for adding, editing, etc. are working properly on the folders toolbar. I would like to set the file association for *.Contacts or another fix. What is the EXE or DLL needed for file association or another fix? |

| | RE: Windows Mail Contacts Lost File Association I figured this one out. I found a shortcut to the Contacts and determined the path to the Vista Mail Contacts is "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\wab.exe". I added this to the file association and it all works fine now.
