Vista Contacts folder

In Windows Vista, as you probably know, you get the "Contacts" folder in
your profile.

WLM likes to store contact information here. But if you're like me and move
your profile folders (Music, Pictures, CONTACTS, etc..) to a different
location there is a problem.

I keep profile information on another drive (move from C:\Users\<user>\ to
D:\Users\<user>)

This is all nice and good, but WLM 8.1 Beta is hard coding the path as C:\,
so when it runs, when you open your home folder, you see 2 contacts folders.
Please get this path out of the registry

Please fix.

Look, i'll even do the hard work for you..

Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\
Value Name: {56784854-C6CB-462B-8169-88E350ACB882}

READ THAT! Don't hard code!

hey, I have vista and standard User folders in C:\ but still I got no
contacts in the Contacts folder... how do you make WLMD store the contacts
there?
would be really great to be able to access live contacts directly from
windows shell...
