The Object Browser doesn't indicate any default property for a contact item.

It looks like Subject is being supplied in Outlook 2003 and FileAs in
Outlook 2007. However, as Sue says why depend on an undocumented implicit
default property that might change from version to version and not use an
explicit property that you want. If you want FullName then ask for it.

PMJI with maybe a dumb question, but if you want the FullName, why don't you
specifically return that property value rather than relying on the default
property of the object?

Also, if Outlook is returning the FileAs value, as Ken suspects, all those
options you looked at are probably irrelevant. What I would expect to be the
determining factor is what's stored in the actual item. (And it could be the
Subject property, not FileAs, that's being used.)
