Vista's Contacts not working

Hi,

I tried using a tweak to move my "user files" folder's to "my documents"
folder left from the XP OS which was on another partition on my hard drive,
it didn't work well so I reversed everything.
Now every time I click on "contacts", the "my documents" folder opens up
which now shows as a shortcut in my Vista's "user files".
My Contacts folder (which is empty) is still in the "user files" folder.
However, I cannot open Contacts by a shortcut or within the Windows mail.

I checked the Contacts shortcut in the Start Menu and it points to
""%Program Files%\Windows Mail\wab.exe", so it seems that wab.exe is messed
up.

Is there a registry tweak or a similar trick to correct this?

Thanks,

Bijan

Hello Bijan

Using OPTION THREE in the tutorial below, you can restore the defaul
location of the "Contacts" folder to hopefully fix this for you

Hope this helps
