rbet Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 the damn thing keeps reappearing. It unregisters alright, but the next time I start MSN messenger, it 'repairs' the installation on its own.

bfoos Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 A more proper way to use that command is with an evironment variable. Not everyone's system drive is C. For the latest beta: regsvr32 -u -s "%programfiles%\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.1.0106.00.dll" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/4/#findComment-588106858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicaman Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 This is for the latest beta..... regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.1.0168.00.dll Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/4/#findComment-588141348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom7000 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I always get rid of "My Sharing Folders" using this method, however, the other day on a laptop I set up I got a message in WLM saying something along the lines of "Your computer does not support Sharing Folders" I'd love to know how I can replicate this "error" so that I don't need to bother with Sharing Folders anywhere else!

LightIdea Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Couldn't you put a wildcard in where the version is? For example Instead of: regsvr32 -u -s ?C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.0.0812.00.dll? You could have regsvr32 -u -s ?C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.*.dll? Or doesn't that work in :pndows :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/4/#findComment-588218547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireWire Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 the damn thing keeps reappearing. It unregisters alright, but the next time I start MSN messenger, it 'repairs' the installation on its own. Yup - same here. After removing the file, the installer comes on and "repairs" itself. Microsoft is REALLY trying get on peoples' nerves with My Sharing Folders now...

conradl Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Its useless, sharing folders return the next time wlm is run :( No its not. :) I just found out if you don't use the Shortcut to Windows Live Messenger made itself during the install it won't restore the my sharing folder! Delete the selfmade shortcut and create a new one by going to the C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\ dir and make a shortcut of msnmsgr.exe.

Victor V. Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Those that have installed the latest version of MSN Messenger, or Windows Live Messenger as it is now called, have probably noticed that it installs a link in My Computer called 'My Sharing Folders'.If, like me, you're not interested in this feature of WLM, or you just don't like the way it dumps a shortcut under My Computer, you can remove it by unregistering the Messenger File Sharing Shell Extensions dll. do this by going to start > run, and typing in: regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.dll" (Y) Since many people can have other language Windows, I'd suggest regsvr32 -u -s "%ProgramFiles%\MSN Messenger\fsshext.dll" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/411817-guide-remove-my-sharing-folders/page/4/#findComment-588421338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
