smorales02 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-2008, 03:17 PM

I installed "finger friendly contacs" than unistalled it cause I wasnt to impressed by it. Now when I hit the button to open up my contacts it says "fingerfriendlycontacts cannot be opened.....blah blah"

How do I get back to the default contacts manager??????

Try the program "KeySwap"....I can't remember where I DLed it, I just know that is freeware. YOu can re-map those buttons.

Just use the Advanced Configuration Tool... it does so much more and is free.

Advanced config tool doesnt have anything to do with remapping keys in it. you probably just have to change the shortcut to Contacts back to its original setting. I was messing with that a week or so ago, sorry I can't remember the keys I was changing now. you can go into ppckitchen chat and tiermann there would prob tell you what they are. thats where I got the info.

Here is a simple cab file that does nothing but restore contacts to the Right soft key.

Did you soft-reset? Tested on my phone and worked without resetting. Are you talking about the right soft key or when you are in other applications and it tries tk-o access contacts?

Tried even after reset and still doesnt work...

Im talking about getting the right soft key to open the standard contact manager....It keeps looking for this add on that I have erased and I cant get into my contacts.

Taking info from another thread I went into the registry and did this...

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

\Windows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk

but it still doesnt work.....
