Portable MSN mesenger 7.5

these arent exactly the best portable msn messengers, but they're close. they wont save setting simply because of the registry entries... WLM was called windows live mess (mess not messenger) by the creator of "portable version 7.5"

i havent quite tested bob_man_uk's suggestion, so i cant give feedback as of yet

7.5 for some reason always asks me to upgrade to the latest version, ergo, im not going to use it,

wlmlite is nice, doesnt install anything except for the reg key for something... or other, only downside of wlmlite is its inability to save your face picture, doesnt bother me since i dont actually have one but if you like to have your slightly scary grinning portrait in messenger, this maybe isnt your best shot

OH WLMlite also asks you to upgrade to the latest messenger version, but allows you to ignore it, unlike 7.5 which either kicked out if you said no or installed messenger if you said yes

just tried wlm, it deleted the registry entries oh my system's wlm. once i opened my system's wlm, it reinstalled itself and settings had been reset to default. no biggie, just use on systems without wlm, which is why its in usb key section in the first place
