Windows Messenger?
Since upgrading to XP I occasionally find Messenger logging on by itself.
I've cancelled Auto log on in Outlook Express and unchecked the boxes in the General tab of Messenger yet it still starts up. Funny thing is that it does not always do this. Any suggestions welcome.... Rod |
