My computer seems to be blocking and locking away files that i download via
msn messenger. Is there any way i can turn this frustrating feature off?

any help would be appreciated :)
 
Greetings,

There sure is, just download and run the following .reg file:

You'll need to completely restart the Messenger client to see the change.

Jonathan,

I have two almost identical PC with same version of Windows, updates,
patches and MSN Messenger, but only one of the two PC have this type of
blocking even for *.mid file... What's going on?

Thanks.
