Greetings,

What exactly were you trying to transfer? Some file types are actually blocked by default by
Windows Messenger (on XP SP2), and need to be re-engaged by using this .reg file:

Thanks Johnathan. Basically, no type of file would not transfer. We
tried htm, gif, jpg, txt. Nothing would go through.

I'll consider MSN Messenger. I believe the reason I decided to
investigate Windows Messenger was it's ability to host multi-party
calls. I was under the impression - possibly wrong - that MSN
Messenger would not do that.
