tjodrik Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Hi all,under my 'Documents and Settings' folder, under the subfolder with my username as its name, I have a folder 'Contacts'. It contains a hidden folder with my Windows Live Messenger address as its name, and it contains 260 'WINDOWSLIVECONTACT' files. It's obviously connected with my Live Messenger program, but I can't figure out exactly what all the files there are for, or what they do.Anybody knows?
spacesurfer Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Those are your contacts - or entries in your address book. Outlook Express in XP does not use this but I know for sure that Windows Mail from vista does use it as does Windows Live Mail Desktop.Maybe Live Messenger also stores your contacts in this manner. If you log in as someone else, those file names are like encrypted or something - nonsense filenames. If you log in to your own profile, then you should be able to see the names of all your contacts.
