Tip From Prem- How to Disable GMail Chat on Left Side Of Gmail

Hi Friends..

I have been getting personal mails about how to block Gmail chat in Gmail left side..

There is already an option at the bottom of Gmail to disable it. But I am giving a technical tip here.

It is useful for parents who dont want their kids to chat on Gmail but want them just to check mails :)

Ohhh god... Kids forgive me :)

So here is the tip from Prem..

Start > Run

Type - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

Press enter

Open Hosts file with notepad & add this entry

chatenabled.mail.google.com 127.0.0.1

Save the file. that's it :)

FEW Points to NOTE

• You must maintain the proper format or else the entry will be invalid.
• If you wish to disable an entry place a "#" in front of the line.
• Each host entry is limited to 255 characters.
