MSN Mesenger Tip

<<< Back

Here is a tip for those of use who or security conscience. msn messenger keeps a list of all the people who  are on the contact list of anyone who has used msn on your computer. open up regedit or what ever you  use I use nortons version.

 

step one: navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Step two: open up software

step three: open up microsoft

Step four: open up MessengerService

Step five: open up ListCache

step six: click on .NET Messenger Service and steer in amazment that all that info is on your computer  and u didn't even know about it

step seven: right click on .NET Messenger Service and press DELETE.

step eight: give yourself a pat on the back

 

Msn will continue to work as normal and as far as im aware it doesn't replace the entry.

 

Note: I have only tested this on WIN98SE as that it's the only OS I havE access to. if you use something  else I suggest exporting the entry before you delete it just to be sure your safe.
