From: The Doctor on 9 Aug 2006 05:52 On all the relevant sites that I've looked at, .sqm file extension is claimed by the Operation Flashpoint game. Every time Windows Live Messenger 8.0 is opened, it generates files sqmdata??.sqm & sqmnoopt??.sqm in c:\ Is there a reason for that? Also, is Windows Live Messenger the same as MSN Messenger?

From: Tim on 22 Aug 2006 21:53 I have disabled this "experience" program within the options of Messenger yet these files continue to be generated. Isn't there any way to prevent this from happening? And who on earth decided on using the root c drive to store these files? I feel like I am infected with malware every time I browse my files. Thanks.

Thanks for providing this answer Jonathan, The key question here is now: how do we get ride of these files and how do we stop Windows Live Messenger from creating them? I have not opted to be part of the Micrisoft Customer Experience Program (i.e. the Boolean "Allow Microsoft to collect anonymouse information about how i use Windows Live messenge" under Tools, Options, General, is NOT checked).
