Preventing messenger OE 6.0

[Ian]

How can I stop messenger loading with Outlook Express 6
SP1 I've zapped it at startup,stopped it in NAV 2003,
prevented it logging on with OE, and still the icon
appears on the system tray when OE starts. Windows Help
says to uncheck the "load when OE starts" box in OE, I'd
do that if there was such a box to uncheck! Any help
gratefully received,
Ian

Greetings Ian,

To do this, close down Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:

Thanks for this Jonathan, is this the same reg. fix that I
managed to discover yesterday (at last!!) on the KB? (Adds
a PreventRun?) If so, it certainly seems to work to
finally stop the Messenger loading, but has slowed down
the opening of Outlook express and switching identities,
almost as if the program is "looking for messenger" for a
while and then gives up and starts without it!

Thanks for your help, it's a pity Microsoft make something
so difficult which ought to be easy!

Ian

Hi Ian,

No, this is *not* the PreventRun key -- in fact by running this one, and you've used the
PreventRun, will eliminate this "delay" in loading Outlook Express.

but it did, thanks for all your help,
