| | Send picture without Photo Share (disable photo share) How can I disable photo share? When I drag a a file into conversation input, it is sent using "Send file" feature. But if the file is a picture then photo share is used. I don't like to use photo share as it gives little control on the received files and takes most of the screen. I just want to quickly send a picture without having to use "Files->Send a file or photo..." menu. |

| | Re: Send picture without Photo Share (disable photo share) Greetings, At this time, there really isn't a way to do this. I've seen some Messenger Plus scripting done (including one by a good friend of mine) to deal with Ctrl-Ving and PhotoShare in a conversation window, but no one has been able to tackle the drag/drop operation as of yet. You're not the only one who feels this way about this feature (including myself) and I'm crossing my fingers that we'll see an off switch for this in a future release. I know for a fact that the team has been alerted to this particular feedback so there is at least some possibility... -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "ups" <ups@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EA60C64F-6EF1-4AB6-898B-F53872EB0829@xxxxxx Quote: > How can I disable photo share? > When I drag a a file into conversation input, it is sent using "Send file" > feature.

| | Re: Send picture without Photo Share (disable photo share) I have to agree with the original poster - The photo sharing thing is awful, please let us disable it - I want to be able to drag photos in and send them as normal files. Users will be turning away from live messenger in droves unless it is fixed quickly "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Quote: > Greetings, > > At this time, there really isn't a way to do this.
