Remove My Sharing Folders in My Computer for Windows Live Messenger

[--=ddSHADOW=--]

Some new feature that i dont like in the new Windows Live Messenger is the Sharing Folders located in My Computer.

The way to remove this feature is

Start -> Run and click on OK button

regsvr32 -u "%PROGRAMFILES%\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.0.0812.00.dll

U need to check your version of Windows Live Messenger example 8.0.0812 so i writed one easy autoit script that will do that work for you. The script reads the installed version from register and does the job.

I need more testing then i'll integrate this addon into the main install script you can get the latest HERE

Here is the script that remove Sharing Folders located in My Computer.

RemoveMySharingFolders_ONLY.au3

The script will work untill they dont change the .dll name B)

I have done something similar with Inno, is there a reason why you want the dialog box to be shown, because if not you can silently unregister the dll by adding -s

regsvr32 -s -u "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.0.0812.00.dll"

With every version number, the dll name changes. So how about

cd %programfiles%\MSN Messenger
FOR %%F IN (fsshext*.dll) DO REGSVR32 -s -u "%%F"

Maybe run it at startup?

I'm not too good at batch files so can someone check it?

@TD

The AutoIt script --=ddSHADOW=-- made above takes into account the changing version number

Oops.

Will this simply remove the Shared folder from My Computer or also disable sharing a folder?

[T D]

Remove from My Computer.

@ZileXa

To disable the shared folder I use

"SharingDisabled"=dword:00000001

under the users passport settings here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\passporthashhere

Still can't get it to unattendedly use the same Display picture or have my credentials added to auto connect

For the display picture , open msnmsgr.exe with resource tuner or res hack and change the pictures.

But how to integrate the display pic in the installer w/o repackaging, as WLM doesn't support making admin install points...
