Restricting MSN Messenger

[piehead]

I do not have the registry key listed on the tweak for restricting use of msn messenger.
Settings
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Mes senger\Client]
Value Name: PreventAutoRun, PreventRun
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (1 = enable restriction, 0 = default)


I'm running Win98 SE and have looked for the key using the current version of messenger and the previous version. But my reg keys end at Microsoft...there is no Messenger/Client. Does anyone know how else I could restrict messenger from running?

If you don't have those keys, create them.
Copy the Bold to Notepad. Name it Mess.reg
Click twice to enter into the registry.
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Mes senger\Client]
"PreventRun"=dword:00000000
"PreventAutoRun"=dword:00000000



I set them up to have a value of 0
If you want to enable the restrictions, go in and change it to 1
