Windows live mail contacts folders is in
C:\Users\ windows ID \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts . and
regedit can find code is in \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\microsoft\windows
live contacts\ Database

But code is c:\Users\XXX\contacts\Default\

Contacts will lost when I restore c:

How can I change contacts folders to d:\ like d:\backup\contacts?

If using a Live ID the contacts are stored on the server and will be sync and present after a restore.
If not using a Live ID, export contacts to a csv file and import after a restore
