Greetings Bella,

You can add Windows Messenger back by downloading and running this .reg file:

You'll need to restart Internet Explorer to see it.

hi johnathon,
i downloaded and ran this file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow..._ietoolbar.reg
it replaced my windows messenger icon in IE with the MSN messenger 6
icon. is it possible to have the windows messenger icon there as well,
so i can choose which messenger client i want to use at any given
time?

thanks
