1. Copy / Paste the following to a NoMessenger.REG file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftMessengerClient]
“PreventRun”=dword:00000001
“PreventAutoRun”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice10.0OutlookInstantMessaging]

    could you please tell me how to prevent users of my pc connecting to msn. My kids are using it without my consent!
    I have read your answer above but i don’t know what, “NoMessenger.REG file” means, nor do i know what “Run regedit/s NoMSN.REG” means either.
    Hope you can assist.
