stopping messenger from running
Every time I open Outlook Express, Windows Messenger opens with it. I've
turned off the Auto-Login to Messenger feature in Outlooks 'tools/options', and even gone so far as to uninstall Messenger from 'add/remove programs', but there it is. Any thoughts? thanks :: sg |

Jonathan. I used your fix for the same problem on my pc and it worked. I
had all the right settings, but still it would open. Thank you sooooo much. Diana "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

THANKS SO MUCH JONATHAN!!!! I have been searching for a
way to remove Windows Messenger (stop it from showing up in the system tray when Outlook Express was launched) for ages!! I even asked MS Tech Support online and on the phone -- no results, other than to uncheck everything, which did not work in removing the icon/programme. Your solution HAS WORKED!!! I'M SO HAPPY I'M DANCING RIGHT NOW!!! Now I can go and do the same for my Mom's computer too -- thanks so mych once again. -----Original Message----- Jonathan.

Hi Stewie,
Then this isn't the problem -- this key completely stops Outlook Express from loading Messenger, no exceptions. Do you have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed? Norton added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature to Norton Antivirus 2003, which can conflict with Messenger and display this behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Stewie Griffin" wrote in message .com... actually, jonathan, it only hides it. i want it gone ... not hidden. it's logging me in, in the background. thanks anyway. sg "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...
