Default Automate the importing of team contact info

I would like to create a file that can be double clicked by my team mates to
begin the import of a contact list into their Outlook 2003 contacts. I am
thinking there should be a way with similar results like double clicking a
..hol file to import holidays into Outlook calendar.

I would like to be able to export my catagorized contact list in Outlook to
a file, then send the file to my teammates via email, then they could just
double click and the contacts would be added. The team (including me) does
not have admin rights on their computers to install software.

Any suggestions?

In what format would this source file be?

You could do that, but you can create only all-day events with a .hol file.
