Hello

How do you disable/turn off WLM on certain user's PC's. With the earlier
versions of MSN messenger i just added a regedit to prevent it running but
with the WLM update this doesn't work anymore?

Greetings Andy,

If you're referring to the specific GPO to disable Messenger, it hasn't worked since MSN
Messenger 4.x. There are no specific GPOs for Windows Live Messenger to disable itself,
you'll have to use the normal software policies in Windows or block connections to
Messenger's hosts on your network.
