You could put the Contacts in the Sidebar, via the Windows Orb (Start) > All
Programs > Accessories > Windows Sidebar then add the Contacts by clicking
the plus sign at the top.

Now click on the Contacts ‘shaded’ box and drag it to the Desktop to give a
bigger and better display as an ‘open book‘.
