Delete Button Greyed out on Contact list
Hi,
In Privacy option, under the Contacts list, some contacts are deletable while others are not. I understand that those undeletable contacts still have my hotmail ID in their Contact list and they have to delete me first before I can delete them. The question is: What gives them the priority over me? I mean, why it is they have to do it first, why not me first? Thanks Yba

Delete Button Greyed out on Contact list
Greetings,
Because the idea is that you are managing -your- online status on their list. Even though you've deleted them from your own contact list, you are still on theirs. So the real question would be, why gives you priority to remove yourself from their list? There's arguments on both sides and over the years many probable solutions have been suggested, including by myself. However, this is the design and there are no plans to change it. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.

Thanks for attending my question.
Can you please elaborate, I really do not get your point here. Thanks Yba "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Greetings, Because the idea is that you are managing -your- online status on their list.
