Hi - outlook 2007 has every association that it can have ticked in Control
Panel (all possible extensions & protocols + start menu).
For me, all the associations for Windows Contacts cannot be changed away
from defaults (boxes are ticked, but grayed out, so remain associated with
Windows Contacts) , with the exception of the .vcf file extension, which is
set to outlook.
I cannot find any outlook address book service (or anything resembling an
address book service) running or dormant under services - could this be the
problem?
Office was set up with default settings, including all options for Outlook
enabled. As far as I know I have never been prompted to select or deselect
such a service.
How would I create an address book service?
Cheers
