How to remove credit card warning?

[Guest]

We are using WM5.1 with Live Communication server internally only (SIP). I
would like to get rid of the warning the comes with each new message:

Never give out your password or credit card number in an instant message
conversation.

Searching the web suggests I should find a registry entry 'IMwarning' that I
can remove. I have no such entry in the registry. Where else might this
warning be coming from so that I can remove it?

Greetings,

Actually to remove this -you- have to create the IMWarning key with a blank string. To
recall, it's a string under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\Policies

That worked! Thank you. I'm going to push my luck and ask a further question
- is there any way to totally remove the now blank line created for a
warning? The top half of the message box now contains a 'messenger' icon with
an underline and nothing else.

Hi,

I'm afraid not.
