Just upgraded to Live 8.1.178, two questions by alegator on 09-14-2007 at 02:39 AM
1) How can I set the contact list to display a thumbnail with the display picture next to each contact rather than the green logo? And how to set it to a large size rather than the regular small size?
2) I noticed the service "usnsvc.exe" running in Task Manager. Do I really need it for porper Live operation? If not, how can I disable it?
Thanks.

1) That feature was removed when Windows Live 8.0 was officialy released. I'd love to see it brought back myself.
2) No you don't, you can disable it via msconfig.exe, going into services tab, and finding the "Messenger Sharing Folders USN..."

You can also show the Display Pictures in the contact list if you click the two arrows ("sort your contacts") on the right of "Find a contact", check "show contacs' details".

hey, I just did the upgrade....not much of an upgrade.
anyways, I noticed that all my contacts names appear the same color, whether or not they are online. So the only way to distinguish if they are is to look at the status in brackets to the right side of there names.
Is there a way to fix this? I looked carefully in the options in the mess.be patch to see if it was something I had done. I can't find anything and I never used the original version of the new MSN 8 before patching it!!
