One reason I prefer email to messenger is I have a record. Is there a
way to keep a running log of all exchanges on messenger?

Greetings Jim,

You have two options, you use MSN Messenger 6, which has a built-in logging feature:
http://messenger.msn.com/Download

or you can use Messenger Plus, a third-party addition to Messenger, which will log your
conversations in Windows Messenger (and MSN Messenger as well if you desire):
http://www.msgplus.net
(if you are installing Messenger Plus, you probably don't want to install the 'Sponsor' as
doing so will install ad-software on your PC)

I installed Messenger 6 two kinds of advertising appeared immediately.
I don't think they mentioned I had to suffer advertising if I
installed this program. Is there a way to suppress the advertising?

I've now seen your other messages where you say these are from
"Messenger Service," not Microsoft. That can't be so, because I
disabled messenger service long ago.

This advertising never appeared before I installed Messenger 6 and
appeared immediately afterward.

The menu line across the top of a large popup shows:

MSN Home | My MSN | Hotmail | . . .

Under this menu line it says in large letters:

"MSN [butterfly] Today"

One of the ads is for "MSN [butterfly] 8" with the words "Say goodby
to boring email -- Switch Now"

I think it unlikely spammers other than Microsoft spammers would be
interested in creating an almost exclusively Microsoft popup ad
screen.

Oh yes, one more thing. It has this line at the bottom of the large
popup ad:

"© 2003 Microsoft and its suppliers. All rights reserved"

jim

did you install this one
http://www.msgplus.net
(if you are installing Messenger Plus, you probably don't want to install
the 'Sponsor' as
doing so will install ad-software on your PC)
if so you did not untick the sponsor software

Hi Jim,

What you're seeing "MSN Today" -- to turn this off, just open up the main Messenger window,
click the Tools menu, then Options, then the General tab, uncheck 'Display MSN Today when
Messenger signs in' and click OK.

Thanks. That fixed that. Now if I can just get it to sign on at
Windows startup like the old one did I'll be all set.
