I encoutered the same problem lately. If I close contacts, the filter setting jumps back to "all contacts", and does not stay at the last setting. I cannot set a different default filter. Its really annoying.

Have searched english and german forums and fount out that a bunch of people have the same problem but they haven't found a solution yet.

I tried looking into the registry, but came up blank. I don't think it can be done by way of editing the reg.

Well, as long as nobody comes up with a solution for setting the default filter, I am using a workaround:

I am using vBar 2.2 to close and manage my running programs. Its not bug-free but its OK. E.g. it doesnt list all open programs (e.g. tomtom6 or Com-Manager). If you tab the x to close, the program just hides, if you tab and hold for a short while, the program will close.
So I just tab my contact-list to hide it. vBar provides a dropdown list from the taskbar from which you can later choose contacts again. It will have the same filter applied than before you hide it.

Its not much, but all I could come up with. Hoping for someone with more gray matter.
