Free computer Tips
Having a sharing folder in windows live messenger is an easy and quick way
to send or share a file. If you are already using Windows
Live Messenger to chat, why not share a few photo's or your favorite music
file with your contact.
What you need to share files with Windows
Live Messenger
-
You need to have the same version of Windows Messenger
as the person you are sharing with.
-
You both need to be online.
How to create a sharing folder:
-
Open Window live messenger.
-
Go to the top menu and click on Actions.
-
Go
down to "Create or open a sharing folder..." and click on it.
-
A
box should pop up called "Windows live Contacts - Select a contact"
-
Select the contact you wish to share folders with and click
ok.
-
If
you wish to share folders with the contact you have chosen click yes
if you do not wish to share folders with them click no.
-
A window should pop up if you said yes and this is where you
put the files you wish to share.
You cannot send setup files or .exe files by simply
placing them in the share folder. You must compress them first.
We tried sending the Windows Live Messenger setup file
but it would not show to the person we wanted to share it with until it was
compressed. They unpacked the file at the other end, placed it on their
computer, and it was then fine to use and install.
What files can you share?
-
Pictures files.
-
Microsoft Paint files.
-
Mp3 Music files.
-
Microsoft office documents.
-
Compressed files.
