| | Re: My Shared Folders Greetings, The easiest thing to do is just to open up any Messenger window, press Alt on the keyboard to activate the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, then Options, then Sharing Folders category and just turn the feature off. Now, given your response, you might be trying to do something in a corporate environment? In that case (and you can do this regardless actually), just open up Services and disable the Messenger Sharing Folders USN Journal Reader service from ever running. The feature won't activate without it. -- 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 -- "Michael Tissington" <mtissington@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:Oa3UK9pjIHA.1132@xxxxxx Quote: > Using version 8.5 of messenger.

| | Re: My Shared Folders Turning the feature off and also disabling the service does not remove these folders. Unregistering fsshext...dll doesn't work. regsvr32 -u "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\fsshext.8.5.1302.1018.dll" Repairing Windows Live Messenger doesn't work. Removing Windows Live Messenger because it's a POS... works!

| | Re: My Shared Folders Jonathan, I have read all the threads on sharing folders and still can find no reolve. I have done everything you have suggested for others but continue to be unable to set up sharing folders. When I rebuild they seem to work but upon closing and trying to reopen a sharing folder it asks if I want to create one???
