Contact folder shows "ARTISt", "GENRE", ETC as in media player

My contacts act like they are part of the music selection and have the wrong
"headers" for contacts. How can I make them show email address, names etc
like the normal email contacts??

Thanks in advance

With Contacts open, right-click in an open area of that screen, select
Customize This Folder, then change the template type to Contacts.
You should only have to do this once.

Hi ComputerBob,

Look at the "How to Choose a Folder Type Template" section at this link, and choose the "Contacts" template while in the Contacts folder. This will show you how to get it back to what it should be.

With 'contacts' open
Organize
Properties
Customize
Select 'Contacts' from drop down list of 'What kind of folder do you want?'
