hi guys..

I am using msn messenger 7.5 and have windows xp service pack 2 installed.

When i open mp3s thru msn, this pop up tells me that xp has blocked the file due to security reasons..

What i wanna know is, where did the file go to? Is it deleted? Or is it hidden somewhere?

This has happened quite a few times.. accidentally.. and is very irritating when it happens.

Thanks.

did it finish downloading?
dun quite understand your question.. if ure asking abt the location, the default is at my documents>my recieved files.

yes it finished downloading.. but the thing is after that, i clicked on the link to the file that shows up in msn.. then this popup says windows has blocked the file. then i can't find it in the my received files le..

so now just wondering where that file went to.. ixxit deleted or hidden somehow?

It is normally in My Documents> My received files unless u changed the settings. By default it is there and try not to open in MSN but u go to the folder and open as i think it is due to your firewall or antivirus settings

run a searh on yer cpu for .mp3

ran a search, the mp3's not anywhere to be found.. why not you bros give it a try too? Get your friend to send you an mp3 then click on the link that appears in your msn window when the transfer is done..
the phenomenon only seems to happen on systems with SP2 installed.
thanks lots for the answers and advice...
