What exactly is the position with Windows live Essentials on my pc as of today? I have taken advantage of the "Upgrade" to the latest edition of Skype as requested in the Skype pop-up that appears everytime you start your pc. [ I already had this version.] Messenger etc disappears from view - but it is still installed, just unreachable..??

I would have missed this had not one of my contacts informed my that I was signing into & out of Messenger on the web..?? But I could not have done this because Messenger & all Windows Live has been removed I thought..??

But no! When I go to Programs & Features I find that my choice of Windows Essential programs are still installed - but unuseable..?

This is pretty confusing! Why can't the "Upgrade" to the latest version of Skype actually inform you on what exactly is happening with my pc..??

The person who answere my last question said neither were necessary.

Please tell me where to locate the file where the custom emoticons for Windows Live. I have browsed, searched whole computer and nothing that says anything regarding emoticons.

 

I appreciate any help possible!

Today I got an e-mail message saying I must update my Messenger account to Skype. If I have Windows Live Mail and Windows Hotmail, does that mean that I have a Messenger account? Does it mean I will lose my Windows Live e-mail account if I don't update to Skype? I've never used the instant live messenger service of Messenger nor do I want to. Also have no desire for Skype. I don't know the differences between these simiarly named services of Microsoft. As far as I know I don't have a Messenger account unless this comes along with the other ones.
