Sure, but that requires changing 'saved settings'. I wouldn't recommend doing that and/or recommend telling that to people.

Not that it will cause bugs or whatever, but simply because people tend to forget things and thus some will most likely forget to change it back. And in reference to giving support: it would require more explaination and what not too. And the chance is much higher that the user makes typos and thus the whole thing not working anyways, or even worse: messenger not starting anymore (and then you get more posts from that user asking what to do next, etc, etc...)

They easiest thing to suggest as support, and also the easiest thing for the user to do, with the least chance of making typos and other errors, is still uninstalling imho.

That said; I'm sure the Messenger Plus! functionality can be turned on or off in the registry as well?
