    Contacts in Windows Live Mail or in Windows Explorer


    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows Live Mail for my email.

    When I click Contacts in the lower left part of Mail, the contacts are not the same as when I look at Contacts in Windows Explorer. There are some diffences in who is in each list.

    I set this computer up such that there is only one user.

    Can anyone explain?

    Thanks, cb

    Hello CB,

    Windows Live Mail uses it's own contacts instead of the ones in your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Contacts" folders.

    If you like, you can use the tutorial below to import the contacts from this folder into Windows Live Mail.
