Was wondering if anyone had found a proper tweak for aligning the Contact list by either first or last name? Found this one on PocketPCTweaks ----

set Display name in Contacts:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName



---- but I have to guess it's for WM2003 because in WM5, there is no "contact" folder in the Software directory and if I search with PHM Registry Editor (what a great little piece of code :werenotworthy: ) I don't find any mention of "contact".

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Glad I could help :beer: Does anyone have the WM5 version or know what the contact list is called in the registry?

I believe its [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\ADDRBOOK]

The problem is the key values are in decimal and I dont know how to work with that data type. :cry:

I tried adding the FL key but it didnt work.

I tried modifying all keys in here with no effect. :frusty: Thanks for the insight though. Will keep trying and hopefully others with more tweaking experience will give it a whirl.
