Outlook 2007 Contacts in Windows Fax and Scan

Hello,
I have MS Outlook 2007 as my default for everything it can be set as default
in the "Set you Default Programs"
When I open Windows Fax and Scan, I can only see contacts from Windows
Contacts.
I cannot see any of the Outlook Address Books.
How can I see my Outlook Contacts?

I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 and Outlook 2007 SP2.

Any help is appreciated.
Eduardo

Presumably in outlook your contacts are correctly configured, to be shown as
an address book?

In Fax & Scan tools> Contacts, the resulting window should have a drop down
to select Outllook Address Book

Actually I found the solution:

I kept reading in a lot of forums that Windows Fax and Scan uses the Default
Contacts Application.

So my mistake was to go to: "Default Programs"/"Set Default Programs" and
make sure MS Outlook was the default for all file types.

But the real fix is to got to: "Default Programs"/"Set Program Access and
Computer Defaults", go to the "Custom" section and select "Microsoft Office
Outlook" as the default e-mail program.

After that, Windows Fax and Scan uses Outlook Contacts.

Thanks for your help
