Unlink Windows Messenger + Outlook Express

[Steevo]

I used to have a little program that could be used to disable and enable the
link between OE and WM. I have now managed to lose this - does anyone know
where I can download it again, or does anyone have a copy they would be
prepared to email to me? I have seen many methods on the net requiring a
specific registry key to be entered although I have to admit I am not too
keen on this as it's not as easy to undo.


Many Thanks

Greetings Steevo,

You can do so by closing Outlook Express, then downloading and running this .reg file:

Is there any way I can then undo this if I wanted to restore the link
between OE + WM in future?

Many Thanks
