How do I switch of Windows Messenegr
-----Original Message----- tools options general tab uncheck the options their that you do not want to happen . I have actually tried this as well also going into notepad and a certain file and removing 'HIDE'from MSGMG but it still keeps on starting with IE no matter what. Is it possible that there might be some files missing in order to remove this program. Many thanks, Nick Moller |

How do I switch of Windows Messenegr
Greetings Nick,
Windows Messenger will only start with Internet Explorer if you go to a page which tries to access it (aka Hotmail). There is no way currently to really turn this off, besides removing Windows Messenger entirely (and if you do, Hotmail may appear to "freeze" as it tries to start Messenger). If you want to try anyway, close down Messenger if it's running (right click the messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the start button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like): RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove Then click OK. Messenger will then be uninstalled.
