Question

Photos on People Contacts

Jul 18, 2013 7:08AM PDT

I have done a lot of searching to find a way to add a photo to my manually created contacts, in the People app in W8.

I have come to the conclusion that, for whatever reason, this is not possible. If I am incorrect, can someone please tell me how to do this. If I am correct, is there any information about this coming?

The little and I mean lower little research.

The quick look I did here suggested it only worked if I had a Microsoft email account.

Which I don't and I didn't intend on having. I didn't look into it further but did delete the tile so it was not annoying me.

And yes, then I installed Classic Shell.

I'm sure there is more about this topic but I gave it a 10 minute try then turfed it. Hope MSFT didn't spend much time on that app.
