    Contacts folder has lost some of its magic


    From looking at other computers and on the Internet, it appears that the Contacts folder is supposed to have a customized menu bar with a "New Contact" button, but on this machine the menu looks the same as every other folder. I don't use this folder/app very often, so I can't say exactly when this changed, but the desktop.ini file in this folder has a relatively recent modification date, and contains the following:

    [.ShellClassInfo]
    LocalizedResourceName=@%CommonProgramFiles%\system\wab32res.dll,-10100
    InfoTip=@%CommonProgramFiles%\system\wab32res.dll,-10200
    IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-181

    I can still add new contacts by selecting "Contact" from the "New" submenu, but it'd be easier if I had the button in the menu bar. How can I get it back?

    Hello TBugReporter,

    Using the tutorial below to reset folder views back to default should be able to fix this for you.
