Where (in wich map, in wich file) can I find the adresses wich I use and see
in WML?
Because sometime I want to make a backup.
My map "c:\Users\Eric\Contacts" is empty!

Thank you.

Eric

In Windows 7 you can type "contacts" in the "search programs and files" box.

Neither one of those suggestions will work. See this web page:

WLM does not use Windows Contacts.

Fyi....I posted the following on Feb 13 in another thread titled 'Live Mail
Backup" in this same newsgroup
<qp>
Windows Contacts is present on Win7 for backward compatibility to
Vista (when upgrading a Vista unit to Win7, or allowing one to copy Windows
Contacts from an existing Vista PC to a new Win7 pc) to ensure that those
Windows Contacts can be imported into an email client installed on the
email client-less Windows 7. For Microsoft clients those installable email
clients would be Outlook and WLM....both of which can import Windows
Contacts (Address book for current Windows user)...and thereafter neither
use
Windows Contacts(Outlook stores contacts in its *.pst file, WLM in
contacts.edb)
<qp>

For a complete explanation on WLM's Contacts see:

I just checked my 'C:\Users\<Windows Logon Name>\Contacts' folder. Most
recent file modification date: 1/29/2010. That is over a year ago! And not
long after I set up Windows 7 on this box.
