Greetings Greg,
I assume since you're using Exchange that you're using Windows Messenger 5? If so, Windows Messenger 5 does not support Hotmail, and as such, will simply open your default mail handler (which in this case is Outlook). The only thing you could do is change your default mail handler to Hotmail, although most likely you don't want to do this -- to do so, open up Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Programs tab, under the E-mail heading choose Hotmail and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Greg Abbott" wrote in message ...

Hi Greg,
Yes, MSN Messenger still has the Hotmail feature, but MSN Messenger will not connect to an Exchange IM Service. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Greg Abbott" wrote in message ...

I found that Windows Messenger 4.7 has an MSN addin that
allows for the hotmail support. The addin is stated to be for Windows Messenger 4.7 or greater but it wont install on 5.0 so I had to reinstall 4.7 and lose my exchange functionallity. Maybe 5.0 will support both exchange and MSN in the future.
