    I have way too many contacts in my Outlook (Office XP) to find what I need fast enough.
    I wonder if there is any way of making a list of favorites contacts, or highlight certain contacts, or making two contacts folders. Something! Anything to separate the contacts I use often from the contacts I use only occasionally.

    Thanks

    You can put them into categories and them view them by categories. I'm not sure if there are other methods or not.

    You can also right-click the Contacts Folder (make sure you use the Folder View under the View Menu) and create new folders under the main Contacts folder. There is a disadvantage to this method over SG's method of using categories (which is what I actually do) in that if you sync your contacts to a PDA or anywhere else, most of the time you can only sync the contacts in the 'main' contacts folder. But, if you just use Outlook on your PC, this could also work for you.
