    I am having one trouble using Windows XP. Any one knows the solution please tell me !!!! I've created three users. One with administrator rights and the other two as normal users. When i login with administrator user, my "windows messenger" software icon appears in the systray and this software works in normal manner. But here is the problem: Whenever i sign is as a non-administrator user, the icon of "windows messenger" not appears in systray. It appears in programs menu but when i click it, nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what mistake i am commiting ????

        Hi, this might help (lifted from the microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger newsgroup): This is actually a bug within Messenger 4.6. To make Messenger work for Limited Users, just download this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/limiteduserfix.reg Log into the Limited Account, then run the file, confirm to add the information into your registry, then log off the limited account and log back in again. JohnnyBoy :)
