A couple of months ago most of my contacts were deleted from my favorite contacts list. I didn't do it. I just signed in and they were gone! I also had my name on my contacts list. When I tried to correct my favorite contacts list, all my 'contacts' were in the contacts file, even my own, but I was not able to put myself back on the list. I wrote to hotmail and they told me their system would not allow you to put your own name in. I wrote them back and told them I had been doing it for 4-5 years with no problem. They still (after 3 letters) insist that I can't do it. They said they appreciated the input but I was not able or have never been able to add myself to the favorite contacts list
So, I guess you and I are dreaming!!! They told me I could add my name in one of the 'GROUP' contacts list. I think something either has been or is screwy..
Good luck!!
