How do I delete .sqm files? When I try to delete one, it duplicates! I currently have over 50 of these files, and the number keeps growing. From my research, I found that these files are installed on the hard drive by MSN Messenger, but I haven't been able to find a solution to stop this from happening. I'm concerned that if this continues, they will take over my system!

These files are created by the Customer Experience Improvement Program of Windows MSN Live Messenger.
If you are very sure that you don’t want to help Microsoft in making WMLM just a little better you can disable it..
“To stop these files being created, you will need to turn off the option in MSN. You can do this in the options menu, selecting the help section, and then selecting ‘Customer Experience Improvement Program’. Tick the ‘I don’t want to participate right now’ and press OK.”
It worked for me… ;D

when I looked into this, I found that theses are files that MSN Messenger installs on the hard drive but no-one can tell me how to stop this . Pretty soon , they'll take over my system !
Don’t delete any files in the system folders (windows). Duplicate files have obviously been stored in two locations for a reason, so leave these files intact.
what you need to do is open the file “autoexec.bat” on your C drive with notepad.
Then add the following two lines to it:
del /q /a sqmdata*.sqm
del /q /a sqmnoopt*.sqm
Save the file, and that’s it, you’re done. Now whenever you start your computer up, it will remove all of the annoying .sqm files cluttering up your C drive.
