Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

How to delete specific entry in windows file open popup?


Hi, often %1 is used to designate a parameter in a command line, but shouldn't appear in that dialogue. To remove it you need to edit your 'Open With' list.

In the registry there's an 'Open With' list for EACH File extension.
So definitively removing this is a bit harder, as if you delete one instance, for one file type, there could be others. So you'd have to search for them.

Basically this is a registry job.

"The “Open with” dialog box recommends programs to open a given file. The contents of the Recommended Programs list are determined in part by the registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\<filetype>\OpenWithList (where filetype is the extension of the file type in question). So, for example, the …\.bmp\OpenWithList key may include several values, such as Notepad.exe. Deleting the unwanted item in the OpenWithList key will remove it from the Recommended Programs list.

Some items in the Recommended Programs and Open With lists appear as the result of values within the HCR\filetype key and its subkeys. However, accidental additions to the lists are always made in the HKCU hive."

I recommend 'Regscanner' for searching the registry, but it's up to you.

If you want to feel safer about the actual deletion, use 'Default Programs Editor' - the 'Open With' section.

Steps (I think!):
a. Download and install Default Programs Editor & Regscanner
b. *** Back up the registry - or create a restore point
N.B. System restore is NOT enabled in Win 10 by default, so you must do that first.
(You can research how to do the above easily if you're not sure).
Launch Default Programs Editor & Regscanner
c. search the registry key as above with regscanner
d. For each instance of %1 you don't want, locate it using Default Programs Editor and delete it. (Or if you're confident, just edit the registry).

You can find the two programs easily by searching for
"Default Programs Editor"
(with "") and
Regscanner
