I've always used Outlook express and could separate contacts into different
folders making it easier to find different contacts, ie personal, business,
friends, etc, but now that I have changed to windows 7 and I am using
outlook 2007 and for the life of me I cant figure out how to separate
contacts so I don't have to go thru every contact to find what I need. Can
someone give me an idea on how to manage this?

Rarely is creating separate Contacts Folders a preferred way to organize
Contacts. Categories work better.
 
Categories would work if I understand what that means but how do I set
that up?

Basically categories are Distribution Lists in reverse - instead of
adding a contact to a Distribution List you add a Category to a Contact.
One contact can have multiple Categories.

Open a Contact and click on the Categorize button. You can use one of
the default categories, or create your own.
 
I tried to categorize a couple of contacts but I still have to go thru the
entire list to find their names. I want to be able to go to a category and
find a contact quicker then have to go thru the entire list.

Then view your Contacts by Category, not by name...
