Re: How to Read a WindowsLiveContact file?

Greetings TD,

I believe it is encrypted to avoid third-party applications from probing the address
information (note: I could be wrong, I haven't completely looked at it).

I believe the long term plan is to provide more access to your contacts through your own
applications, etc. as the Contacts API is already in progress...
