Default Auto sign in

I've got Windows xp home and apparently windows messenger
4.7 and I've turned off the auto sign in because I only
use it on specific dates and times. It will not sign
when I open an internet window (that is good) however it
will automatically sign in when I go to check my email in
Outlook. (that is bad). I don't want to run messenger
unless I sign it in myself. Please help me with this
problem. Thank you

Charlene

Greetings Charlene,

To stop this from happening, just disable Messenger support in Outlook. For Outlook
(XP/2002), just open Outlook, click the Tools menu, then Options, then the Other tab, and
uncheck 'Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook'. For Outlook Express, close Outlook
Express, and run this .reg file:

You'll need to restart Outlook Express to see the change.
