| | Re: deleting contacts from my "blocked" list Greetings, As you noticed, when you right-click these contacts there is a Delete option -- this remains the only way you can remove these. But why is it grayed out for some contacts? Because you can only remove contacts from the Privacy lists who have already removed you from their main contact list. Until they do, the option remains unavailable. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "tomp214" <tpwberg@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:88C9F447-8EB4-447F-929E-1751A72A0B86@xxxxxx Quote: > how can i delete someone from my blocked list? under "privacy" (tools) the > allow and blocked boxes. i was able to delete some old contacts but not all. > can i? how do i? |

| | Re: deleting contacts from my "blocked" list This is terrible, let me explain. I have had "spammers" and "bad" people add me to their list and it has been blocked and everything else. These bad people still show up on the list and "delete" is grayed out. I want to get rid of these people, I don't want them here anymore. How do we do this????? -- Don Carlson "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ABE98837-D5E5-4D4F-BAC1-1C39E97E5F77@xxxxxx Greetings, As you noticed, when you right-click these contacts there is a Delete option -- this remains the only way you can remove these.
