outlook hangs with messenger disabled
Hi,
I disabled Windows Messenger from startin using the gpedit.msc utility in XP Pro. However, after doing so, Outlook Express hangs for about 30 seconds at the splash screen. The option in Outlook to run messenger is unchecked yet messenger still starts after I've re-enabled it. I've been through several XP Pro installs that included Outlook Express and I never ran into this issue. I've always disabled Messenger and even forced it to show in the Add/Remove Windows components list by editing the sysoc.inf file. I've never had this problem. Outlook insists on starting messenger and if it's disabled, it hangs. Thanks Pete |

outlook hangs with messenger disabled
Greetings Pete,
To keep Messenger disabled and to stop Outlook Express from "hanging", simply download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...ssenger_oe.reg After this, Outlook Express will no longer attempt to start Messenger and as such, will not "hang" when Messenger is disabled. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Pete" wrote in message ...
