Greetings,
The option is there as Michael already indicated. However, you need to open up the main
Messenger window (where you type in the username and password), press the Alt key on the
keyboard to bring up the menu bar, then choose Tools, Options, etc.
Alternatively, you can just download and run this .reg file to do it for you (exit Messenger
first):
