Is there a way through the Windows Registry to disable
File Transfer capabilties. We want to prevent certains
users from within the office from sending and receiving
files via Windows Messenger.

Thanks
Gregg
 
Try this:
To disable the file transfer facility within Windows Messenger:

a.. Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client


b.. Insert a value with the following details:
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: DisableFileTransfer
Value: 1


c.. Reboot your machine for the change to take effect
Note: This tweak can be applied on a per-user basis by making the above
change to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive instead
