Windows Messenger
Windows XP:
Under Run, you can specify whether and for which events Windows Messenger should open
automatically. If you want to prevent Windows Messenger from running entirely, select Disable
Windows Messenger.
If you do not use Windows Messenger at all, you can also remove it from your system entirely. Simply
use the Removal option for this.
Privacy
General
Here you can configure settings for your privacy and security when working with your computer.
Under Automatic Windows Updates you can specify whether Windows should automatically establish
a connection with Microsoft or not. If Enable automatic Windows Updates is activated, Windows
may then establish automatic contact with the Microsoft server as soon as there is an Internet
connection, in order to check if there are any updates for your system.
The Notify before downloading updates option should be enabled if you want to be asked
permission before Windows downloads available updates from the Internet.
Cover Tracks
Here you can configure settings to cover your tracks when working with documents and surfing the
Internet.
Under Delete history lists you can click Delete now to clear the list of recently opened files in the
Start menu.
Under Clear Internet Explorer cache enable the Clear Internet Explorer cache when closing
option if the web browser should clear its cache as soon as it closes. You should only select this option
when maximum security is important to you and you do not wish others to be able to find out which
sites you visited on the Internet by viewing the cache.
Internet Explorer
This is where you determine your privacy security settings.
Under Integrated SmartScreen filters you can enable the SmartScreenfilters to ensure that Internet
Explorer checks the websites accessed for suspicious and known scam websites.
Under Integrated Windows authentication you can enable the Disable integrated Windows
authentication option to ensure that Internet Explorer no longer automatically attempts to log on to
websites using Windows authentication.
