Windows Messenger Groups
Greetings,
I am currently running Windows Messenger 4.7, However I just noticed a small problem the other day and I cant seem to fix it. In my buddy list,I have my contacts sorted so that all my contacts are under the "Friends" group. Therefore I deleted "Family" and "Others". Well the other day I had added two new people and found they went into a whole new group. "Individuals", Now I hadn't created this group so I moved all the contacts over and tried to delete the group. However MSN will not let me delete this group. The option is just greyed out. Its such a hassle to keep moving everyone I add. For my list is always constantly changing. Anyone have any help or suggestions for this? Thanks. Andre |

Greetings Andre,
The Individuals group is actually there by some newer changes that are coming to Messenger and this is by design. You won't be able to remove this group, but I will check on if the behavior you're seeing is actually the way it should be. Unfortunately there really isn't much you can do about this right now. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Andre" wrote in message ...

Hi Andre,
Just to add, you can install MSN Messenger 6.x, which will remove the Individuals group (infact the group disappears). Of course, MSN Messenger is not an upgrade to Windows Messenger, but a separate application, so you may not want to install it if this isn't a big deal for you. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Will you be able to let me know what you find out about
the behavior. And curious as to if a older 4.7 Does not have this. I have version, (4.7.2009). Again, Thanks.
