Hi<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to disable the Facebook tab in Skype 5 via GPO? We currently block access to Facebook on our internal company network and because of this we have some users that go into an endless loop of opening tabs with web browsers when Skype 5 starts. This can be any browser e.g. IE, Chrome, Firefox.. Normally we could turn off the tab in Skype 5 manually using the link in Skype but as we block Facebook this tab never appears! We can also manually edit a config file to do the same thing.<br />
<br />
We would like to do it via a GPO as we have too many client pc's for this to be a manual procedure.<br />
<br />
<br />

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
