I have recently changed my .Net passport to my new email
address.
Now I have found that all my contacts from Windows
Messenger have disappeared.
I tried changing back to my old email address, but still
they are not there.

Is there any way I can retrieve my contacts?

Would my old contacts be stored in a file on my pc
somewhere?

I only noticed the 'Save Contacts' option after I changed
my email address for my .net passport.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
