Is there any reason not to run MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger at the same time? The icons in the tray are slightly different, for what that’s worth.
Reference – magistyk’s comment on “get rid of this”.
I run both – at the same time with different IDs. It seems to work great. I even talked to myself to see how it works – which my son thought was just a little psycho.
You’re a real piece’a work, rustedtight.
We all think we’re so smart – until we find out we aren’t. Hopefully it won’t be fatal.
I posted on one forum asking my questions about IM security. One user answered that MSN Messenger was, and I quote, “COMPLETELY SAFE”. Ha! In a pig’s eye. (translate: not bloody likely).I hope everyone is careful. I hope parents monitor their kids. But most importantly, teach them about “bad people”. If they all did that we’d have a few less kids in danger.
urxlnc,
Your explanation is a good start…I suspected that that might be the case (a link between Outlook and Messenger). I don’t like it when applications try to think for you.I think my best bet is to sit two computer in my network down next to each other and talk to myself…that is…have an IM session between the two machine and see what another person would see. It can be handy having a home network!
If I see anything interesting…I’ll let you know.
– VThanks very much! That is useful. I jus wish they had different icons. I thought I had a ghost – I would close MSN Messenger and the icon was still in my tray!
I’ll get the hang of this!
– VOK – let me make my question clearer – sorry for the confusion.
1) Strictly speaking – I just (it may not be an easy answer) want to know what another user can find out about your once you say they can IM you with MSN Messenger.
2)Where can you see what they see?
The problem I mentioned before, I can’t remember the exact scenario. So let’s just forget that.
3) Where can you set maximum privacy in MSN Messenger (5.0 on XP)? I want them to see just my email address (the one that is my MSN id).
I hope that’s better.
Still worried,
V
