Stopping MSN Explorer from popping up every day
Is there any way to stop MSN Explorer from popping up every day? I'd like
to do it without running it. I don't want to encourage it. Using XP. TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Does that mean some dialog appears as a popup, or is the program loading to show its window? What does the dialog say, or what does the web page say? Is it showing a web page (other than a home page configured in its settings), or is it a blank page (although it might have that quick links feature showing recent sites)? If it is showing a non-home page, probably you installed some software that runs on Windows startup or on login that added a startup program to point to their URL. Use msconfig.exe or SysInternals' AutoRuns to see the list of startup programs. AutoRuns includes way more startup locations, like the Task Scheduler or WinLogon events. |

Stopping MSN Explorer from popping up every day
Ken,
Is there any way to stop MSN Explorer from popping up every day? I'd like to do it without running it. I don't want to encourage it. You could try to un-install it. Start - settings - Control panel - Add or remove programs - Add/remove windows components (third big icon on left). In the following dialog untick "MSN Explorer" and press the "next" button" Regards, Rudy Wieser |

A big display inviting me why I should start running MSN Explorer as my browser. Take a screenshot, paste into Paint to save to a file, and upload to online storage (e.g., Imgur) to give a URL, so others can see it. Are you an MSN subscriber? MSN Explorer wraps around a web browser (Internet Explorer) to provide an integrated web-centric experience with MSN services (Hotmail, Instant Messenger, etc). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_Dial-up#MSN_Explorer |
