Relationship Between OE6, Outlook & Windows Messenger?

[Bob Swieciki]

Can somebody explain their interaction and/or interdependency? I just want plain vanilla OE6.

Can I safely delete Outlook and/or Windows Messenger without negatively affecting OE6?

How do I get the Windows Messenger to stay out of my tray? When I deselect it under options, it keeps coming back.

Thanks in advance for any advise/guidance.

Greetings Bob,

To kill off Messenger's relationship with OE6, close Outlook Express, then download and run
the following .reg file:

Then Windows Messenger will have nothing to do with OE, and you can remove it or whatever you
want to do .
