Hi,
My computer is a Pentium 4 - 1.7, Windows XP SP1.
Installed MSN Messenger 6.02, works great, but I can see Windows Messenger
4.7 is active and it is the default messaging program, so every time i get
an incoming call, Windows Messenger fires up.
I want to change that, so the default will be MSN Messenger.
Can not find the way, please any comment


And 1 other question:
My firewall alerts me every time :
"Do you want to allow Messenger to act as a server ?
I am not sure if it refers to Windows Messenger ( which is also present by
default ? )or MSN Messenger
Why is that ?
Is it a must to allow it to act as a server ?
When acting as a server, it has access to any dir on my computer ?
If yes, how can I restrict accesss to a minimun ?

thnx
Jaime
 
Hi Jon, sorry I forgot to answer your question :
When I get an incoming call, the program that jump is Windows Messenger.
In fact, I noticed that msmsgs.exe appears in the list of Windows Task
Manager as soon as I start OE 6 or IE 6.
The "Run this program when Windows Starts" is not checked.
