I have two accounts in windows 7 live mai. The contacts default to all. How
can I have a separate default contact list for each account?

WLMail has a set of default contacts that are used when you are not signed
in to Windows Live.
Each sign in has a set of contacts.
You could use the default contacts for one account and sign in for a
different set of contacts for the other account.

Or use 2 Live ID for sign in one for each account...to take advantage of the web UI ability to export(backup) and import more
contact data fields than provided with WLM(e.g more than one email address). The alternative for a robust backup when not using a
Live ID and using the additional email fields for individual contacts is to maintain a backup copy the 'Default' DBStore
contact.edb file.
