well hi, i am new here and some amateur in using plus! hope you all understand me because english is not my mother language and sometines i think it sound weird what i wrote.
i write her because want to know why when i change the preferences for msn or plus in my list it also changes preferences in the list of my brothers, we are 4 using the same computer but not the same list.
for example when i change where to receive the files i get from friends it also sends my brothers files to my folders.
well hope someone can help me

hmm there is no feature to do what u asked for. Not that i know of at least.
But i surely think that this would be a great feature.

The problem stems from how the settings are stored. SOme are stored on a per-user basis, some are global to every user.
Out of interest, what version of WEindows do you have? if XP, do you and your brother use the same user account?
RE: hi, i am new by cocorocho on 04-11-2005 at 10:30 PM
yes we all use the same user account
i never had tryed to creat new... i can have files like porn pics or other in a different account and no one could see them?
RE: hi, i am new by RaceProUK on 04-11-2005 at 10:40 PM
If you put the files in the right place, then yes.
To create a new account, use Control Panel (Classic View) > User Accounts
RE: hi, i am new by cocorocho on 04-11-2005 at 10:42 PM
what do you mean with "in the right place" 
RE: hi, i am new by RaceProUK on 04-12-2005 at 07:52 AM
Usually somewhere under My Documents.

lol, right click any folder you want to not be seen by other user accounts click "sharing and security" then click "make this folder private". Then only the contents of that folder can be seen by you

Welcome to the commuity.
You need to create seperate user accounts for your brothers.
To do this in windows XP, You go to.
Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Create new account.
This will store your files into sperate places which will be somthing like
C:/Documents And settings/xxUserxx/xxUserxxs documents/Messenger recieved files.
You dont need to navigate to there, when you open my documents folder in your own account (Or recieved files etc) It will go straight there.
Hope that cleared everything up for you.
