I accidentally changed the default launch of .vcf so that it now opens
address book. I would prefer that it perform the default action of creating
a new contact. How can I reset to that action?

TIA Kevin

Change the default Address Book program here: Control Panel > Internet
applet > Programs tab

Thanks Vince - that is already set to Outlook. I also changed the launch (in
properties) of .vcf to launch outlook. It now does so, with the .vcf as an
attachment to an email. That is not right.... Other thoughts?

Do you have the right command line in for the Outlook launch? The command
line should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /v "%1"

We are getting closer - I got the error "The command line argument is not
valid. Verify the swtch you are using", so I checked for command line
switches in help. I used the command line .../outlook.exe /c ipm.contact %1

It opens the contact dialog with the vcf as an attachment....

arggghhh - other ideas?

TIA - Kevin

Is there a reference for command line switches?

If I drag a vcf file onto the contacts icon, it works correctly. Hope that
tidbit helps...

I just re-read the thread, where did you use the IPM.Contact part of the
command line? In the registry you should have a command line for opening VCF
files that looks like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OUTLOOK.EXE" /v "%1"

Actually you could even enter that command line in a DOS box (replacing %1
with the file name of a VCF file) and it should work
