    Yes it does.

    But watch out for "Critical Updates" related for MSN Messenger... they have a nasty habit of reinstalling it for you.

    Thanks for the kudos folks...and I wish I could take credit for the research on this line but I got it from someone who goes by the handle "dealer" on another site. He/She gives credit to (of all places)the people at open source for it.
