o770 said:The version of mine is 6.2. I can't find "allow windows messenger to run in the background".
Is there any hidden switch that anybody knows to disallow it from running in the backgrd? I've found the binary value: DSBkgndMode. Will that do it? thanks
Ahhh, I see what you mean now. AFAIK this is by design, and can't be turned off...maybe with the next version of Messenger.o770 said:redduc900, It runs automatically everytime I log in to my webmail (hotmail account).

Can you install new programs on your PC?
