Thats not what he is trying to point out. He is trying to point out that in MSN Messenger v7.5.0229, in the conversation window of any contact they have a webcam icon regardless if they have a webcam or not. He is not saying that his webcam is being shown to everyone, and he does not want it.
I think you are missing what I am pointing out. His contacts would have that option checked and thats why its displaying the webcam icon on the conversation window for his contact.

O.P. RE: everyone has a web cam
i see what your pointing out, BUT if i do not have a web cam, that option does not affect it, the icon will not show on other versions

so regardless of weather the contact i am veiwing has a web cam or not, and has selected that option or not, it still show the web cam icon under the display picture, untill you hide, then unhide the said display picture

Hmmm..strangely, all my contacts have got a webcam icon when I hide their display picture, but the webcam icon is gone (as far as the contact does not really have a webcam) when I unhide the display picture... as very opposed to what you are getting, NiteMare, right? :S

Attached screenshot to tell you what I mean ;)

i don't think it has anything to do with advertising, it think it a bug, because this wasn't apperent untill they moved the icon to the display picture

Yes, but even if you have that checked, it is not soposed to show up if you do not have a webcam. If you choose that option, it is mearly soposed to show your contacts that you have a webcam, but then again if you do not have one (like nitemare's case) it still is showing.

I agree with ipab tbh :tongue:.
