on the privacy tab in options
there is a check box saying
“this is a shared computer so dont show my tabs”
uncheck it and all should be ok
:confused:
This doesn’t work on Windows Messenger on my machine. Believe me I’ve tried everything… BUT, I got word from Mickeysoft that Windows Messenger doesn’t have tabs! Now why they would build two completely different Messenger apps is beyond me.
I know, however, that there are machines in this office running XP and Windows Messenger and they have tabs! In fact, my home machine is running the same configuration as this machine and IT HAS TABS! So I sent a screen print to Mickeysoft. I haven’t heard back and don’t expect to.
I’ve given up on this issue and downloaded MSN Messenger 5.0. It doesn’t have the remote capabilities but I like it much better anyway. Besides, I found out that you can run MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger simultaneously. Go figure.

I run the same setup as U n so far have not seen this problem.
Maybe a search thru the knowlege base will turn up something.
a: how long have U experienced this?
b: anything newly installed at that time?
c: is there a common thread appearing in the ‘many’ posts at MS?
d: did a delete and re-install of messenger really achieve nothing?
e: is a re-install of the OS out of the question?
f: assume that part of the registry is corrupt and work from there.I wasn’t blaming you guys… It’s microsoft’s newsgroup I was referring to, not this one.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled WM and no go.
I’ll check the registry but I’m convinced there’s a dll somewhere hidden that has been replaced.Mickeysoft should decide whether they’re going to interface with the address book or not. Some of my contacts are in my address book and some are not. I have no control over whether they are added or not when I add the contact… it just happens.
The reason this hacks me off is that Messenger doesn’t show the name you put in the address book. You must open OE and display the “contacts” bar (many of which aren’t actually contacts) to see how you’ve customized the name.
Mickeysoft shoud do it or get off the pot.
