Hi,

I have removed tick from "Run Windows Messenger" when Windows starts" option

in Prefererences tab.

Despite that, each time when I start Windows Messenger comes with it.

I checked Run regkey and Messenger is not there.

How to remove it?

Go into your Outlook Express options and untick "start Windows Messenger

when you boot up Windows" or something similar.



Or, better yet, go to Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs icon/

Windows components button on the left and uncheck Windows Messenger and

hit Next. I would uncheck MSN Explorer while you're there.

Going to Windows components and unchecking Windows messenger, will only

remove it from the start menu, suggest you go to control

panel>Administrative Tools>Services>Scroll to Messenger>Disable

When I did it in Windows components it also disabled it in services.

That's because you've installed WinXP SP3.



But your posts' headers (Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512) tell me the

computer still isn't fully patched at Windows Update. Better take care of

that ASAP!
