Windows Live Messenger 2009

Prior to 2009, dragging and dropping a file in messenger, actually sent the file to the contact. Now, it seems dragging and dropping a file only adds it to a shared folder.

I don't want to use shared folders, I don't trust M$ that much to give a contact access to a folder on my PC. I want it to SEND them the picture or file.

Yes, I know I can still send via the files menu but why should I make 30 clicks to select the file, when its on my desktop, and I should just be able to drag and drop it.

Does anyone know how to make messenger revert to the old behaviour of sending it when its drag-n-drop, instead of adding it to a shared folder?

Hell, where are the shared folders even kept? So I can check what rubbish is in them,

Mabey checking the programs preferences/settings might give you some idea as to where these folders actually are,as well as how to change whatever else might need changing.

Thats just it, theres no options in preferences related to shared folders, either to disable them or locate them.
