I have 2 contacts listed in Windows Live Mail that can’t be deleted....all other contacts can be deleted OK.
The 2 contacts are marked as Favourites and originally come from my Skype account....no idea how they came to be in my email contacts list.

Anyone know how I can remove them from my email contacts list without removing them from Skype also.

Running Windows 8.

Thanks

Jan

somewhere in the settings of skype you allowed WLM to have access, go back into the skye settings and see if you can fix it there.
If not, you might have to remove the contacts in skype, then they should remove from WLM, then just put them back but you still have to go into skype's settings and see where you have a check mark to allow Skype to put your contacts in Wlm and remove the checkmark

btw Facebook does the same thing, there is a setting in facebook which when checked will put all your contacts and information like birthdays on the wlm calender, uncheck this feature and you can delete all it put on

Thank you for your suggestions...which I will follow just as soon as I find the settings for Skype.
