Greetings Rick,

You can simply stop Outlook Express from starting Messenger by closing Outlook Express, then
downloading and running this .reg file:

Hi Rick,

Sorry, hit send too early. You can also stop this completely so that whenever Messenger is
started, a password is required. To do so, click the Start Button, then click the Control
Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on
the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In
the window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'.
