cant filter my sim contacts in WM6.. anyyone have a solution?

---

I like to have all my contacts saved onto my phone so I can add pictures and other info to the contact infromation that it doesnt allow you to do if it is just on the sim card... I also like to keep all my contacts on my sim card in case the phone crashes and I need to pull the sim and switch phones.. here is my problem. Since I have my contacts on both my phone and my sim, they show duplicates in the contacts list. Is there any way to filter out the sim card contacts so I dont have 2 of everyone(1 on phone, 1 on sim)??
fyi: Im using WM6 vanila

Try this

I think it inserts a registry hack called "ShowSim" to 0.

I don´t remember, where to edit it by your own, so use this cab-file.

Or use Sktools - OK I like the program.

Go to
HKCU/Control Panel/Phone

ShowSim "1" will show the sim contacts "0" will hide sim contacts

doesn't show up twice for me, maybe it's cause I have a dash though.

When you change the registry and reset the phone it somehow reverts back... Any idea how I can sort this out?

Hide SIM contacts

My simple program which change registry value after Soft Rest (precisely speaking one minute after SR). Install cab - thats all

Enjoy

Hi, I'm new and I have the same problem with my HTC Touch Cruise. I have just tried to edit the registry changing the value 1 to 0 in the string HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone but nothing.......after the soft reset the contacts are always visible.
Rstein.HideSimInstall.CAB or hide_sim.cab would resolve my problem?
Thanks and have a nice day

moury: AFAIK Yes.
