how to reset MSN Messenger 6.2 to default/original settings?
How do you reset MSN Messenger 6.2 to default/original settings? I have
unstinalled MSN Messenger 6.1 and installed 6.2, but the settings are all the same from the before uninstallation? How can I do it? By the way, it seems that MSN 6.2 is not compatible with Plus!

how to reset MSN Messenger 6.2 to default/original settings?
Greetings Ahmed,
I'm not quite sure why you'd want to remove all your settings, but to set it back to defaults, close MSN Messenger if it's running by right-clicking the Messenger icon in the notification area/system tray, by the clock and choose Exit. Then, click Start, then Run, then type: %appdata%\microsoft and click OK. Right-click the MSN Messenger folder and choose Delete (please also note that this will remove any custom display pictures or custom emoticons you have setup). Then, then start the registry editor by clicking Start, then Run, type "regedit" and then click OK. Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger key (they look like folders), click the MSNMessenger key, then choose the Edit menu, and then choose Delete. After this you can restart Messenger and everything should be back to "defaults". ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Ahmed Anis" sh@dow wrote in message ...
