Sharing Applications

Is the "Sharing Folders" feature in Windows Live Messenger the same as the
"Sharing an Application" feature (Start Application Sharing > Share > Allow
Control) in previous versions of MSN Messenger? It does not seem to have the
same functionality.



If not, how do I share an application in Windows Live Messenger?

This is continuation of my previous post.
I read somewhere that "Live Messenger 8.1 does NOT have Application Sharing
on Vista Mach". I have Windows Vista Enterprise & Windows Live Messenger
version 2008 (Build 8.5.1302.1018).

Is my problem related to this?

Greetings,

Sharing Folders is for sharing files. The feature you're thinking of is not available on
Vista.

The replacement is Office SharedView, which is a free application you can get from
www.sharedview.com. Unfortunately it has no Messenger integration but you can copy/paste the
invitation links to a Messenger conversation window and send them that way.
