Default messenger adding contacts to my address book in outlook express

Even though my son is signed out of MSN Messenger, when I
open up Outlook Express all of his contacts are imported
into my address book. I have already unchecked the box
that says "sign me in automatically". I did not have this
problem on Windows 98 but since I swithced to Windows XP
this keeps happening. He signs out on his log-on in
Messengger, but it doesn't sign him out in Messenger on
my log-on even though I have unchecked automatically sign
me in.

Thanks for your help!!

Greetings,

This is because Outlook Express actually starts Messenger. To stop this behavior, close
Outlook Express, then download and run the following .reg file:
