Hi Don, Check your settings he Start/Run/Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Delete the DWORD value called 'Hide Messenger'. And compare the data value between the two for these two keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{FB7199A B-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C 541}\InProcServer32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{FB7199A B-79BF-11d2-8D94-0000F875C 541}\LocalServer32 -- All the Best, Kelly MS-MVP Win98/XP-Shell/User [AE-Windows® XP] Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm "Don Lindbergh" wrote in message ... One of my machines with Windows XP, Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920) and Windows Messenger Version 4.7 (4.7.0105) is missing the tools,options,general, 'Automatically log on to Windows Messenger'. How can I restore this option to Outlook Express? The user account in question is a computer administrator on both machines. I tried loggin in as user Administrator on the problem machine and the behavior is the same. I haven't yet seen any Outlook Express or Messenger configuration differences between the machines, but obviously something is different. The list of files and versions between the two machines in Outlook Express,help,About Microsoft Outlook Express appear to be identical. The entries between the two machines in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express also seem to be the same. I've read lots of FAQs and helpful hints for handling various Messenger/Outlook Express issues, but haven't yet seen anything specifically addressing my problem. thanks for any help, --Don to email me replace 'spam' with 'don' in the below email address |
