| | Folder Tracing with WindowsLiveMessenger-uccapi-0 in user profile Hello, I've tried the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta and the new interface is nice (except for the avatars to the left of the window and the huge heaviness of the global application). It does even handle ShowWindow(..., SW_RESTORE) correctly now, which makes it useable with apps like Switcher. But it's creating a Tracing folder in the user profile, which is seen when you open the profile folder. What is the reason? Will this be fixed for the final release? I don't think that's a good idea as it "pollutes" the profile folder with data that the user doesn't need (and even want) to see. Regards, Florian Brönnimann |

| | Re: Folder Tracing with WindowsLiveMessenger-uccapi-0 in user profile Greetings, I don't have an answer for you for obvious reasons, but thanks for the heads up about switcher, the window model had obviously changed for glass support, but I'd forgotten that would've sorted out the switcher problem. I actually have a few (Microsoft) apps which are using that Tracing folder, like Live Meeting and they're certainly not in beta. -- 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 -- "Florian" <Florian@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8002339D-2B1C-4637-99C1-7A8EE0B630B8@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, > I've tried the Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta and the new interface is nice > (except for the avatars to the left of the window and the huge heaviness of > the global application).

| Vista Ultimate 32-bit | Re: Folder Tracing with WindowsLiveMessenger-uccapi-0 in user profile I am also quite anoyed with the Tracing folder so I made it hidden. I have the final version of Windows Live Messenger too. I just have to say that I think making that folder was a bad idea and what could have been done to make everyones life easier would have been to make that folder hidden in the first place if it is in use. I know I don't like wierd floders popping up in random places after installing software that I want to use. I don't know what the folder is for either. |
