June 6th, 2007 • Filed Under • by Ramesh Srinivasan
When you open the Windows Contacts folder (shell:Contacts), the following buttons may be missing from the Command Bar:
- New Contact
- New Contact Group
- Import
- Export
This happens if the folder template for the Contacts folder is incorrect. Follow these steps to fix the problem:
1. Open the Contacts folder
2. Right-click an empty area in the folder, and choose Customize This Folder…
3. In the folder type drop down box, select Contacts
4. Click OK
The missing buttons should be restored to the Command bar.
