If I install Messenger Plus. Will it affect all other XP computer accounts if I put it in C://Documents and Settings/My account name?

RE: Other XP accounts by Ezra on 05-24-2006 at 06:03 PM

no, it will only be installed for the current logged-in user

Which is triggered if you install Plus! on a limited account or if you use the /noadmin parameter when you launch the setup....

----------------

Note that for the new upcomming Messenger Plus! Live you must have a non-limited account to install it to. It will not work anymore on limited accounts due the way it hooks to Windows Live Messenger.

The question is, what type of Windows account are you using? Administrator or Limited? If you install it from an Admin account, it will be installed for all users, unless you use the /noadmin command-line switch when you launch the setup program.

BTW, Messenger will still work fine by itself after installing Plus.

I'm using an Admin account.

So if I use /noadmin it will only work on my account?

That's what we've been saying all along.
