Need help to TRY and write a messenger type of App.

[Mr Tickle]

I want to try and write an app to transfer files and messages a bit like messenger. I'd just like to send files and messages to my brother and vice-versa. I want to do this because MS Messenger is a pain in the arse. I tell it NOT to connect but when I open an internet connection up pops a hotmail message (which seems to have priority over explorer opening I've now told ZoneAlarm not to allow messenger to access the net.

Are there any examples/tutorials, Or would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks
