Windows Messenger 5: "Start Netmeeting" launches Skype!

[3D]

I wish to application share AND teleconference with more than one
other person.

I took Jonathan Kay's advice and installed Windows Messenger 5 and
used his registry tweak from his website. This allowed a new option
for "Start Netmeeting" within messenger.

I had installed Skype because I hope to use it for multiple-party
teleconferencing, which Messenger doesn't do.

The problem is that if I invite a Netmeeting, messenger launches
Skype, not Netmeeting. I have uninstalled Skype, and now this does
nothing at all. Accepting an invitation to Netmeeting appropriately
launches Netmeeting.

How do I restore Messenger's association with Netmeeting?

Thanks in advance

Greetings 3D,

To get the proper Netmeeting behavior back, close both Skype and Netmeeting (if open), then
download and run the following .reg file:

After this, it should work as expected.
