Windows Mail Contacts Lost File Association

When I try to double click on a contact in my Contacts folder in Vista, I am
prompted to select a program for file association. The files are *.Contact.

The Contacts folder is properly customized as a 'Contacts' folder. The
Contacts related icons for adding, editing, etc. are working properly on the
folders toolbar.

I would like to set the file association for *.Contacts or another fix.
What is the EXE or DLL needed for file association or another fix?

I figured this one out.

I found a shortcut to the Contacts and determined the path to the Vista Mail
Contacts is "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\wab.exe". I added this to the file
association and it all works fine now.
