Barry,
This won't stop the problem entirely, but if you go into Messenger
and block those accounts which are no longer valid, they at least
shouldn't
show up in your address books.
If you use Outlook, it's possible to move all Messenger contacts
into a folder of their own, which tidies things up a bit, if not actually
solving the problem. Outlook Express on the other hand seems to dump them
right in the middle of everything else regardless.
Tink.

Subject: [access-uk] How Do I Prevent Windows/MSN Contacts being Added To
My
Address book?
Has anyone found a solution for this?
I sync my addy book with my phone and desktop/laptop computers, I try to
keep it neat and up to date, I sign into Windows/MSN Messanger and wammo!
the contacts that are being stored on a remote server appear in my address
book! i wouldnt' mind but more than half of them have hotmail mail boxes
that expired yonks ago so it's not like I can even have them as purely
somebody to spam. hehehehe *wink*
Is there a work around for this?
A cursory googling found nothing but I am extremely tired having gotten
very
little sleep last night.
Thanks for suggestions.
Barry
