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

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

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

oechazu: Probably Yes:
Only install cab to Your device - no another action required. Keep it simple and stupid rule

Ok so I used your cab file and everything worked except now I want my SIM contacts to show so I can't figure out how to do it. I uninstalled the .cab file and deleted everything that had anyting to do with it and still can't get my SIM contacts to show back up. Any suggestions? Thanks.

How can we go about making a .cab file that shows the SIM contacts then?

Is this just a simple registry tweak that we can do?
