You can type ipconfig in command prompt to view the IP’s.

If you want to restrict the use of this command, follow the steps below.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\

Ipconfig file will be situated in here. You will need to take ownership to make any changes to it, and the right-click take ownership might not work here, so it has to be done manually. See here...

Make a backup of ipconfig file just in case.

Now all you have to do is to rename it anything you wish. The command won’t work anymore. To make it work again, just rename that file to ipconfig.

In Windows Vista and 7, Take Ownership command can be added to right-click context menu, but sometimes it doesn’t work with few files, so it has to be done manually.

Now click on Advance and go to Owner Tab and click on edit.

Then click on your user name and press Apply.

Now press ok on two open windows, that only Security Tab is opened. Once more click on Users and this time press Edit.

Once more in new opened window, click on Users and check the full control box and Apply.

To reinstall MSN Live messenger, it has to be uninstalled first, and the right way to uninstall it, is from Add and Remove Programs OR Programs and Features option in Control Panel.

If done that way, there will be no problem at all.

But if you have just entered the Program Files and deleted the MSN Live Messenger folder, you really have messed it up. Not to worry, there’s a solution for that.
While reinstalling it, it would be giving an error that, it is already installed & uninstall it first.

Here’s what to do:

Go to C:\Windows\Installer

*Installer is a hidden folder, so just type the address in the address bar.

Once in this folder, move down, you’ll see few windows installer files.

Look for the ones between sizes 700 – 790kb. Right-Click on that file and go to its properties, then Details tab and look the Subject there.

You have to look for the file with Subject - Windows Live Messenger Setup Package.

Once found, Right-Click on that file and uninstall it.

This is it, now try to install the Live Messenger again & it’ll work.

Few files are stored in places which you might miss to see and loose them. Here I’ll identify those places.

Most important is:
(For Vista & 7) C:\Users\YourUserName\

(For XP)             C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\

This folder might contain few files which might come in handy, such as Saved game Files, etc.
