I am looking after a Home computer running XPPRO with 4 user accounts. I would like to be able to delete/disable MSN Messenger (Not Windows Messenger) for 1 account only. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks >> Stay informed about: deleting MSN Messenger from ONE account only

According to RegistryGuides.com, the same setting should work for MSN Messenger. http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/981/ http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302089 -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Additional note, you need to make this change from the account you wish to block access to Messenger on. This may require that you temporarily elevate the account to an Administrator account. Or you can see www.dougknox.com, Win XP Tips, Advanced Registry Editing for a method to make the Registry modification from another account. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
