Re: VISTA Windows Mail Questions

Hi Ray,

Freezing in contacts when using a screen reader happens when the preview pane 
in windows explorer is shown. Changing the folder type from contacts to all 
items is one way of hiding the preview pane, since by default the preview pane 
is not shown when the folder type is all items.

However, changing the folder type to all items has two drawbacks. Firstly the 
column headings are changed, and are no longer ones that are most suitable for 
contacts, and secondly the buttons on the toolbar are changed, and no longer 
include the new contact list button. Using this button is the only way of 
creating a contact list.

A better way of hiding the preview pane is to go to windows explorer's folder 
options dialog, and set the tasks group of radio buttons to use windows classic 
folders. Setting this option hides the preview and details panes in folders of 
all types.

original message:

One more point I wish to add.  This is critically important.  When you first  
enter contacts from Windows Mail, you must, (without using arrow keys to  
select anything), press alt+v for view menu.  From there, choose customize this 
folderr.  From that point, choose all items.  IF you do not do this, you will 
not be able to navigate in your contacts list.

Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray
