Export GalContacts.DB to CSV RegKey

I was testing new normalizing rules in Company_Phone_Number_Normalization_Rules.txt but to be sure when the Communicator get's the right GalContact.db, I found this information.

You don't need to see GalContact.db in notepad, you can export it to CSV :)

Create the following reg key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Communicator
Dword: DumpContactsToCsvFile
Value= 1

sign out and back in again
You can find the Contacts.csv file directly from MOC, select Tools -> View Received Files.

Remeber to set DumpContactsToCsvFile back to 0 or delete it.
