atomicgrape Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I can't find a post on this anywhere...I know lots of people hate Messenger, but all my friends use it so I haven't really got a choice. I have got it to install using my batch file on my unattended DVD fine...however, its default settings state that it should 'open main window at startup' and 'show msn today' I have to untick these boxes every time and while that isnt too much work it is still annoying.Anyone know how to fix this? I can't find where those setting are stored anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
