Restricting messenger

[Neil]

Hi,

We are looking at allowing students at our university to use Live Messenger
on campus but we'd like to have a level of control over the software.

I've looked through the registry and not really found much of any use. Some
of the main things I'd like to restrict are the 'remember me', 'remember
password' and 'sign me in automatically' boxes along with the options box
under tools.

Is there anything like an ADM file available yet that will enable
administrators to deploy MSN with the correct settings.

Neil.

Greetings Neil,

Nope. Windows Live Messenger has no GPOs or other registry settings to control it.
