I wish to disable the webcam function in messenger 7 so that users
cannot use it. But I still require the cam to be connected for other
apps. Running XP home with sp2.

Thanks

Greetings Sentiel,

There are no built-in policies in Messenger to stop this function, nor is there really any
way you can block it (as webcam can utilize a relay server).

brinji is it even detected when you plug it in the usb port?

does it show up in device manager with a yellow exclamation mark?

i hate to say it but it might not be compatible with win7 / vista.
