Hi,
Again, those are for Windows Messenger. We're talking about MSN Premium and MSN Messenger
here -- these policies have no affect on that.

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from
using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
Note This method prevents programs that use the Messenger APIs from
using Windows Messenger. Outlook 2002, Outlook Express 6, and the
Remote Assistance feature in Windows XP are examples of programs that
use these APIs and that depend on Windows Messenger.
1. Start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, click Run, type
regedit.exe, and then click OK.
If the following registry subkey already exists, go to step 6:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. Type Messenger
for the name of
the new registry key, and then press ENTER.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger
5. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key. Type Client for
the name of the new registry key, and then press ENTER.
6. Click the following registry subkey: key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client
7. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. Type

I tried that before I made the post. It does remove it but when I start up
MSM preimum again it reinstalls itself. Is there no way to get around this M$
default? Why do we have to put up with these things without being given a
cholice?
