    I downloaded and installed the new version of windows live messenger. It's nice but i don't like the "my sharing folders" it added on my windows explorer. so i did some research on how to remove it. Here's what i found out:

    1. click start>run>cmd
    2. type this command: regsvr32 -u C:\Progra~1\MSNMes~1\fsshex~1.dll

    after you run this command, it will tell you that the dll was successfully been unregistered. Open your explorer again and the my sharing will be no more. :D

    Or don't use WLM in the first place.
    Nice tip though, for those who actually want it.

    i like most of the features of WLM that is why i installed it. I just don't like that "my sharing folder" sitting on my windows explorer. it's ugly and slows down opening the windows explorer.

    The folder never really bothered me that much. But it's good to know.
    Thanks for sharing!
