-=PCTechTalk=- Re: disabling messanger

Hi
Consider that in XP, if you ever will think about having someone connect to
your XP home via the internet to work on your puter, Messenger must be
enabled to do that. They will be able to operate your computer just as if
they were in the room at your puter. In affect they are. You will have to
give them a password etc for it to work. The other puters OS must be XP Pro.

Just passing info along.

Life is what happens in between plans.
