Looking at hundreds of e-mail addresses in your contact list can be boring. Wouldn’t it be much better to see pictures of your contacts instead?
Wish to send mails to your contacts. Once you’ve assigned a picture to a contact, you can see it whenever you position your mouse over an e-mail address or name.

Click on the ‘Contacts link’ that appears on the left pane of your Gmail account.
Click on the contact’s name to which you want to add an image.

To apply the same view universally,
Go to My Documents,
click Tools,
then Folder Options,
then select the View tab,
and click Apply to All Folders.

I have installed Windows Live Messenger on my computer. Everytime I visit Hotmail to check mail or open Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger starts. I disabled this messenger from startup but I cannot figure out to stop it from activating itself every time I open IE.

We can try disabling Windows Live Messenger from opening up every time you start Internet Explorer with the following steps. Open Internet Explorer, click on ‘Tools I Manage Add-ons’. In the list of add-ons, look for ‘Windows Live
