I do not want to lock the hotmail page, users can check your emails, but do not enter the webmessenger

Well, the solution would be to block the address of the messanger - if it is a web application, it's got its address. If yoi check it, you will be able to block the messanger only.

Below are some urls for some sites that you could use to block the browser based chats. chatenabled.mail.google.com talk.google.com talkgadget.google.com talkx.l.google.com msg.msn.com messenger.msn.com messenger.live.com messenger.hotmail.com webmessenger.msn.com scs.msg.yahoo.com webmessenger.yahoo.com messenger.yahoo.com login.oscar.aol.com To be honest, I have not tried this. Please try it and reply to this post if that worked. Vikas -- Don't forget to mark your thread as 'solved' with the answer that best helped you!
