Windows 7 Windows Mobile Device Center

[iflog]

I have an HTC Touch Diamond phone that I would like to do a hard boot on to reset it to its original settings. I downloaded and install Windows Mobile Device Center but cant find any information as to how to move my contacts (people and phone numbers) to my computer. I don't care about outlook and my stored email addresses. I want to save my contacts so that I can reinstall them after I hard boot the phone.
