The following is information selected from a contribution to another list. 
I do not use Windows Vista.  The information applies to Windows Mail in 
Vista.

In Windows Vista the Windows Contacts are treated differently than in
Outlook Express.  For example, CTRL-Shift-B does not bring up the address
book as Windows Address Book is not used by the program.  CTRL-Shift-C
brings up a list of contacts.  However, Contacts is a folder and when you
open your contacts folder using CTRL-Shift-C you are in a tree and list
view.  You can also use the search box on the
Windows Start Menu to search for a specific contact.  Type in a first or
last name and when Windows presents a list of files matching your query you
can use down arrow key to move to the various choices.  A contact in Windows
Contacts has a .contact extension.  Pressing enter on the result will open
the contact's information.  The Windows Contacts folder is indexed by
default in Windows Vista, which gives you the ability to quickly find a
contact using the Start Menu edit box.

Hopefully, this will help you with using contacts in Vista.
