Default Contact Activites Tab

Well creating the new profile didn't work. I guess that makes sense since I
am running off of exchange. I only set up the new profile from one
workstation out of 3 I use to access my information but that seems like a
good enough test - the problem persists even with a new Profile, so it must
have to do with broken links. I will start researching the news groups to
find what I can on broken links first - but I understand that this supposedly
has no solution (which I find silly that you cannot do something as simple as
reconstruct an association). The fact that you can carry a file with you for
years and years to have it plagued by something so trivial without a fix is
ludacris to me.

All that aside, I am still extremely curious about this odd behavior in the
Activities window.

Any support, information, advice, etc. on all of these fronts will be as
appreciated as ever. I thank and commend you guys/gals for all you do to
help.

When I go to the Activities tab on my own personal contact, under All Items
(by default) I see all the mail from any mail folder, contacts, appointments,
tasks, recurring appointments (birthdays/anniversaries) etc.

Each other selction from the drop down box results in a view with the
corresponding selection: well at least E-Mail, Notes, and Upcoming
Tasks/Appointments.

When I go to the Contacts drop down, it says "There are no items to show in
this view."

I do not understand why all the Contacts would appear in ALL ITEMS but not
under CONTACTS which seems to be a subset of ALL ITEMS.

I am contemplating starting a new Profile if that will solve some of the
quirks I am experiencing (waiting for advice on a couple of other threads
regarding this), but I would still like to understand why this occurred.

TIA for all help and I will be happy to provide additional details if it
will be of assistance.
