Heres how to replace the regular "Contacts" shortcut with this one.

Go to this entry in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS

change,

String 1
from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

to "\Program Files\Contact Manager\Contact Manager.exe"

Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.

Now the contacts shortcut and contacts softkey (phone and mainpage) will go to the new program.

Nice one. I had been looking for this for the OEM when I made it several days ago and forgot about it. I would imagine this will be bundled in the kitchen.

An option to replace the Contacts softkey would also be nice. Here's what I have in my current OEM for this...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\KEYS\11 3]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="ContactManager.exe"

Hey Mike, I downloaded the cab in the first post and installed it and was able to use it from the programs menu. I absolutely love it, BUT it didn't do the reg edits for me. What prog do I need to do the edits?
