[SOLVED] Access the Company Directory from dialer

[Guest jstockto2000]

Hi,

Does anybody know how I can access the company directory option in the standard WM contacts app directly?

I need to access the address book stored on my company's exchange server, but the menu option in the dialer (standard samsung) brings up the samsung contacts app which seems to lack the functionality.

I can get to the information by starting to write a new email, selecting the "<company directory>" option in contacts, searching and the selecting "View Contact" from the menu... it's not very quick or user friendly however!

Failing accessing the directory directly, does anybody know how to disable the samsung contacts app and revert to the standard WM one? I use SPB Mobile shell for dialing contacts from my phonebook, so I ain't bothered by the (crap) fingerscrolling addition anyway.

Thanks,

Solved it myself...

changed the following reg key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]

   "1" = "\Windows\SECContacts.exe"

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]

	 "1" = "\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts"

This effectively disables the samsung addition all together, meaning the standard WM dialer is used from all shortcuts/menus and the "company directory" option works again :D
