if you use filemon to check out which files are writ too on adding a group you'll find that for each group created there is an individual RSA encrypted file created in doc & settings/user/contacts/liveid/  with the extention .windowslivegroupfile, or something like that, the more peeps in the group the more populated the file.

I don't see such file even after disabling the encryption. I see one file per contact and most of them are just image files for display pictures. I don't see a file that has contact list in them in these folders.

Save that in a text file, do this for every group. After that you can just export, import, make a new group, edit it, paste the info back and voila...

I wouldn't mind doing this if it worked. but how do you actually import the contacts you've just saved back into a group once you've saved them into a text file? I don't think it's possible and I think this has already been discussed on previous page.
