Contacts and Add New Contacts Icons gone AWOL

OK, I used to have a couple of Icons in the top of the main CONTACTS Screen
(i.e. click the Icon CONTACTS in the main WM page and that new screen that
opens)

These icons have disappeared. Only way to Add a new contact is via
FILE/NEW/CONTACT from that screen.

What happened to them?

I see a post from another that uninstalling Update 933928 fixed this
problem, it didn't for me.

Appreciate some input

Re: Contacts and Add New Contacts Icons gone AWOL

Hi Frenchy,

From: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/212/1/

This happens if the folder template for the Contacts folder is incorrect. To fix the problem, use these steps:

Open the Contacts folder
Right-click on a blank area in the folder, and choose Customize This Folder...
In the folder type drop down box, select Contacts
Click OK

WTG Ramesh, that was a perfect solution!!

It is not immediately logical when going to the Customize This Folder (I had
already looked there), but just clicking APPLY and it worked

Much appreciated

Re: Contacts and Add New Contacts Icons gone AWOL

I uninstalled update 933928 restarted computer
looked for updates and again it wanted to automatically give you 933928
at this point hide(look under help section) the update and it won't auto
update you.....
