Disable Messenger

[Missy]

Well Frank,

The trouble with msn, is that it is linked to many of
the programs on the windows programs. There isn't really
a way to get rid of it, you don't have to use it to IM
users, but it does help to get into some
programs/applications. Also, regarding it linked with
Outlook Express, well, OE is linked to Hotmail, therefore
you will need a passport to enable it to work. As I said
earlier, you do not need to IM users or ever have to. Any
more problems with this, feel free to e-mail me.
