Create a contact card with your own information
You can keep track of people and organizations by entering information about them in Windows Contacts. You can also use Windows Contacts to create a contact for yourself that contains your personal information. The contact that you create for yourself can be used like a virtual business card, and can contain your e‑mail addresses, street address, phone numbers, job title, and any other information you want to include.
-
Open Windows Contacts by clicking the Start button
, clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
-
On the toolbar, click New Contact, and then type your information in any of the boxes on the available tabs. You don't have to fill in all the boxes; just enter as much information about yourself as you want.
-
When you are done entering information, click OK to save the contact, then right-click your contact and click Set As My Contact.
When you designate a contact as your contact, you allow Windows Mail and other programs to use it as your default contact information.
Tip
To quickly send others information about yourself, right-click your contact and then click Send Contact. This will create a new message in your default e-mail program with the contact attached in vCard format (typically the best format to use when sharing contacts with others). To send the contact in .contact format, right-click the contact, click Send To, and then click Mail Recipient. Recipients must be running this version of Windows to view the .contact format.
