special folder that's found in a user's folder. It's also found in the
Start Menu of Windows Vista as a shortcut and can be run in Windows 7 and Windows 10 by searching for 'Contacts' (or 'wab.exe') in the Start Menu. Contacts can be stored in folders and groups. • It can import
vCard,
CSV,
WAB and
LDIF formats. • It can export in vCard 2.1 and CSV formats. Users can right-click a contact to quickly convert it to vCard format and send it to anyone. • It can print contacts in
Memo,
Business Card, and
Phone List formats. • Because contacts are stored in the Contacts folder simply as individual files, they're just another data type in the operating system that can be indexed and searched by
Windows Search. Individual contacts can be quickly accessed from the Start menu search text box. •
