Want to get rid of Windows Messenger and can't

[Jeff]

I now use MSN Messenger. It opens automatically when I
boot up. But my old WINDOWS MESSENGER opens
automatically when I start up Outlook Express. I don't
want Windows Messenger to come up at all. Any fixes?

Thanks

Greetings Jeff,

To stop Messenger from loading with Outlook Express, first close Outlook Express, then simply
download and run this .reg file:

You can then restart Outlook Express.
