Rename the MSN Messenger folder to f.e MSN Messenger 6, then install MSN 7 
MSN 7 will be installed in the default MSN folder (it will recreate it).

Edit: to have both icons on desktop go to the renamed folder > rightclick msnmsgr.exe > copy to > desktop

Did you do it on a useraccount?
If so you need to do it on the adminaccount aswell

Boot into safemode and see if it's like on your account in the account called "administrator".

(i do know how to boot into safemode, but i don't know what you want me to do after that)Edit: if i go to user accounts in the control panel, i see my account, and it says comp admin. Is that what you mean?

What i ment is: check if the folder (where MSN 6 is) is renamed just like on your regular account (they should be, but you never know).
Also make a new desktopicon for MSN 6.2 if you have one because it needs to direct to a diff folder now.

Oh well, i suppose i can uninstall 7 and reinstall 6, when i want to use 6.. (that should work, i hope)
Thanx for your help, anywayz
