Windows Contacts

<p>Windows Contacts was a <a href="/facts/Contact_manager/BW5lF5kK">contact manager</a> that was included in <a href="/facts/Windows_Vista/IASEUCTB">Windows Vista</a>, <a href="/facts/Windows_7/tldLdbnX">Windows 7</a>, <a href="/facts/Windows_8/eRtw96T3">Windows 8</a>. It replaced but retains most of the functionality of <a href="/facts/Windows_Address_Book/w74ksmXm">Windows Address Book</a> and worked with <a href="/facts/Windows_Live_Mail/3V3rx7c6">Windows Live Mail</a> and the Vista version of <a href="/facts/Windows_Mail/DSnnBDhT">Windows Mail</a>.
</p><p>Windows Contacts used an <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a>-based schema format. Each contact appeared as an individual .contact file, in which custom information including pictures can be stored. Windows Contacts features <a href="/facts/Extensibility/AEPWNwxp">extensibility</a> APIs for integration with other applications and for storing custom information. The legacy *.wab format and the open standards *.vcf (<a href="/facts/VCard/3VJG4uTD">vCard</a>) and *.csv (<a href="/facts/Comma-separated_values/dv1pSR1r">CSV</a>) are also supported.
