From group policy you can block the executable of each application msnmessenger.exe etc.
Always have in mind that users may be able to access msn either from web or through web proxy.
isaserver.org has a list of web proxy sites that you can appy to the ISA.

The problem is that I don't want to join most of the work group pcs to the domain... I have like 10 joined to the domain, but coz we recently have problem with the server I would prefer to let them out of the domain.
I have successfully blocked yahoo through the ISA server 2000, however some clients are able to log on but yahoo is slow on these computers...!

Now yahoo clients can use the option Firewall with no proxies to connect to yahoo !!!
Is there away to avoid this 2?

Thanks, the client configuration trick worked perfect ..! I have blocked all access to yahoo messenger.
Restarted firewall...!
Now do I still have to configure the .ini file on each machine to block yahoo ? if so how do I do that?
