Each contact appears as an individual.contact file, in which custom information including pictures can be stored. Window Contacts features extensibility APIs for integration with other applications and for storing custom information. The legacy *.wab format and the open standards *.vcf (vCard) and *.csv (CSV) are also supported. ==Features== *Windows Contacts is implemented as a special folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
