Force Outlook Express to use MSN Messenger 6

[Sharon]

Could you tell me how to force outlook express (6) to use
the new MNS messenger 6. I can run the new MSN messenger
6 - but Outlook Express seems to use an old verion - not
sure if it is Windows Messenger or an old version of MSN
Messenger.

Many Thanks
Sharon

Greetings Sharon,

Unfortunately you can't, but you can stop it from loading Windows Messenger 4.x (the old
version). To do so, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:
