I don't have a desktop icon for Windows Live Messenger. Windows Live
Messenger Version 2008 (Build 8.5.1302.1018) does not appear to create one
when one doesn't exist.

For the Sharing Folders, what happens when you go to Tools | Options |
Sharing Folders, and uncheck the box for "Use a sharing folder when I drag a
file onto a contact's name in my contact list?

Sorry, I find them convenient, and don't feel like playing Lab Rat, so try
it, and tell us what happens.
