I have Windows XP - Home Edition. I created two users (individual profile - one for me and the other for my husband). In my settings, I have MSN Messenger. However, when my husband access his profile, it does not have MSN Messenger.

When my husband uses MSN Messenger, he needs to use my profile. I would like to have MSN Messenger on his profile. Since I don't know what to do, can someone tell me if I have to download MSN Messenger again in his settings (Profile).

If not, what should I do to have MSN Messenger on his profile?

Thank you.

Greetings,

Yes, you have to download another copy of MSN Messenger and install it into
his account. As an alternative you can use Windows Messenger instead of MSN
Messenger which is already preinstalled on your system.

Thanks and best of luck!

Greetings RReis,

After you install MSN Messenger, it should be available under every Windows XP account.
However, you may need to setup a shortcut. To do so, right-click on an empty area of his
desktop, choose New, then Shortcut. For the location of the item, simply type
"%programfiles%\msn messenger\msnmsgr.exe" and click Next. Click Finish the next screen and
he should now have a MSN Messenger icon.
