regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.<version number>.dll", replacing '<version number>' with the version number of WLM that is installed on your system!

That worked for me.

Just an a quick off topic question - what happens if you run a command the initial first command? I ran the first command and only noticed now that the command code has changed according to the release. Will the first command that was posted in this thread remove something?

[Preoccupation]

Alternative:

REMOVE ʹSHARED DOCUMENTSʹ FOLDER:

1. Start Group Policy Editor (start>run>gpedit.msc)

2. Go to Folder: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\

3. Setting: Remove Shared Documents from My Computer (Enabled)

What about those annoying .sqm files Messenger dumps to the root of C:? I keep deleting them, what are they for?

[dyl0n]

What are .sqm files?

They're "Service Quality Monitor" data collection timer files and are apparently safe to delete.

[DigitalE]

Awesome. I never liked that link being there!

[paxa]

thanks for the heads up, that thing was driving me nuts. and the .sqm files are really safe to delete?

[flt]

Thank you ~!

If you would like to hide the "My Sharing Folders" folder without actually removing it or stopping the feature you can use Mess Patch. Here's a example

[Guest]

You can disable it from appearing in My Computer through Powertoys too.

Is there anyway of getting rid of the shortcut in My Documents now?

edit: Nevermind, disabling the .dll worked for that.

That RegShell app doesn't work for me. I get "LoadLibrary"(C:\Program") failed - The specified module could not be found." :(

Type in

regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.8.0.0812.00.dll"

That will remove it.

just goto your msn messenger folder

find out the full name of the file fsshext.XXXXXXXXXXXXX

then write:

regsvr32 -u -s "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\fsshext.XXXXXXXXXXXX"

to unregister. simple!

Nice one! I always wondered how to get ride of that.

Thank you for sharing it.

[ozgeek]

Wonderful! Thank you very much. It's a really pointless feature. They are starting to bloat Messenger. :no
