Sharing Applications

Is the "Sharing Folders" feature in Windows Live Messenger the same as the
"Sharing an Application" feature (Start Application Sharing > Share > Allow
Control) in previous versions of MSN Messenger? It does not seem to have the
same functionality.



If not, how do I share an application in Windows Live Messenger?

RE: Sharing Applications

This is continuation of my previous post.
I read somewhere that "Live Messenger 8.1 does NOT have Application Sharing
on Vista Mach". I have Windows Vista Enterprise & Windows Live Messenger
version 2008 (Build 8.5.1302.1018).

Is my problem related to this?

Re: Sharing Applications

Greetings,

Sharing Folders is for sharing files. The feature you're thinking of is not available on
Vista.

The replacement is Office SharedView, which is a free application you can get from
www.sharedview.com. Unfortunately it has no Messenger integration but you can copy/paste the
invitation links to a Messenger conversation window and send them that way.
