Question

group names in address book

Jul 4, 2012 11:09AM PDT

Is there any way that I can have the names in a group not appear as individual names in my address book? If I have 2 groups listed, my address book gets very long, and some of the people I do not have contact with except in a group mailing.

Vista?

In my Vista, before I switched to Win 7, I couldn't find the old style XP Address Book.

Instead I found "Contacts" at C:\Users\{AccountName}\Contacts

I see you can set up Contact Groups there.

But is this for email? If so, which software are you using for email?

The default address is poor in features like that.

Use another e-mail program or e-mail identity or another Windows account for mailing those 2 groups. Then they won''t interfere with your regular e-mail and contacts.
