Favorite Contacts: How do I un/mark a contact as a favorite?

Microsoft made major changes to Hotmail affecting millions of users but has provided little documentation on how the new Outlook.com works and provided even less online support for answering questions. I have been waiting days for replies/answers to my questions.

Maybe the following suggestions will help you:

To mark or unmark your contacts as "favorites":

• Go to your "People" page which shows your list of contacts.
• Click on a contact that you want to mark or unmark as a "favorite".
• From the People menu bar click on "Groups".
• Check or uncheck the box in front of "Favorites" group.
• Click on apply.

To change multile contacts at the same time:

• Check the box in front of each contact you want to change.
• Once they are all checked then click on "Groups" on the menu bar.
• Note: If the group box is filled in with a square then this means some of the selected contracts are already in that group and some of them are not.
• Check or uncheck the box in front of "Favorites" group.
• Click on apply.

I hope this helps or answers your question.
