Link to Directly View Default List of Contacts (Drupal)
There is no navigation that sends you to a 'list' of contacts. First you need to be clear on what that 'list' would show. Is it just the list that you get from going to Advanced Search and clicking on 'search' which is same as clicking in Quick Search and hitting 'enter/return' on your keyboard. If you don't want to build a View then perhaps make a Profile, add the fields you want in it, and set them to 'searchable' - but of course that all begs the question of 'what do you want people to be able to do once they see this list' which is something you haven't mentioned.
