Problem:

We all know this! Just drag the picture to the chat window to send it to your buddy. Oh no! Windows Live Messenger starts the horrific feature called photo sharing! This clutters up the chat window and renders it completely useless. If some how you could just avoid this hidious feature.

Solution:

Even though Windows Live Messenger does not allow you to turn the feature off, a quick n' dirty shortcut for sending files is right around the corner. Instead of dragging the file to the chat window, drag it onto your contacts name in the contact list. Voila! Ya good olde file transfer begins! Of course, you will have to open the contact list, but I can manage that.

Happy programming (and MSN'ing)!
