Actually here is where the contacts are stored. You may still have them in one of these folders. Let me know if you need help getting there.
1. Sign out of Messenger
2. Click Start and Run and type in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\ and hit Enter
3. This will open a new Windows Explorer window
4. In the window that opens double click on your Messenger ID.
5. Double click on the Contacts folder. |
