That's what "Show this address list first Contacts" does!
It tells the address book view which folder to display as its default.

Russ,
I am still not sure where to go next. When I go to Address Book / Tools
/Options I see
Show this address list first Contacts
When sending mail......following order Contacts
In other words I cannot see any means of setting a default folder.
More thoughts please.

I might have given you the wrong path for your version. If it's not there,
just open the address book view and go to Tools > Options... to set the
default display folder.
