Hi,
I tried using a tweak to move my "user files" folder's to "my documents" folder left from the XP OS which was on another partition on my hard drive, it didn't work well so I reversed everything. Now every time I click on "contacts", the "my documents" folder opens up which now shows as a shortcut in my Vista's "user files". My Contacts folder (which is empty) is still in the "user files" folder. However, I cannot open Contacts by a shortcut or within the Windows mail. I checked the Contacts shortcut in the Start Menu and it points to ""%Program Files%\Windows Mail\wab.exe", so it seems that wab.exe is messed up. Is there a registry tweak or a similar trick to correct this? Thanks, Bijan |

Hello Bijan, Using OPTION THREE in the tutorial below, you can restore the default location of the "Contacts" folder to hopefully fix this for you. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...ng-folder.html Hope this helps, Shawn Bijan;1236965 Wrote: Hi, I tried using a tweak to move my "user files" folder's to "my documents" folder left from the XP OS which was on another partition on my hard drive, it didn't work well so I reversed everything.
