Windows Live Mail - return to default contacts

While trying to research a different problem, I created a *.live.com id in Live Mail. Now I can't figure out how to go back to my default identity. *.live.com has no contact list. Windows Live Mail asks me to login with the previous Id, but does not accept the default Logon Id. I've tried to have it reset repeatedly, but to no avail.

I do not have a problem with the *.live.com ID, but I need to get my contact list back, either move it to *.live.com or somehow copy and paste it to *.live.com or else get back to my default identify so I have my contacts again.

Thanks for your assistance.

in e mail accounts you should be able to click on the e mail account you want and set it to default.
