Hi Rick,

You can add the "Contacts" toolbar button by right clicking on the
toolbar in Windows Mail and click "Customize". Add "Contacts" from the
left pane to the right pane, then click the "Close" button.

If you mean, that there is no "New Contact" button on the
"C:\Users\(User Name)\Contacts" folder toolbar, then you will just need
to change the folder template back to "Contacts". This tutorial will
show you how to.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,
Tks for your promp response. I did try the first part of your suggestion.
The contact folder is in the tool bar. When I open the folder all my contacts
are there but I cannot find the way to add a new contact. All I have is the
folders and nothing else. I tried opening the link you gave but the page gave
an error notice and not available. Any further suggestions would be welcome.
Regards
Rick
