No, this isn't really possible. I assume that this is on Windows, in which case, you can delete all the protocol plugins apart from the XMPP plugin (libxmpp.dll) and it will eliminate support for other protocols, but you're not going to be able to prevent people using other XMPP accounts (like Google Talk). There also will be nothing preventing people from putting back the plugins (either in the global location or in the user-specific location). A more appropriate way to do block access to services that you don't want people to access would be to use some sort of firewall to prevent the network traffic. -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
