Hi Guys,

How do I disable Windows Messenger from starting up when I startup Outlook Express? I tried doing it from he registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Hide Messenger, then changing the value to 2) But that doesn't work, is there somewhere else I can go into and modify? Windows Messenger is version 4.7.2005

Thanks in advance

P.S. I do not use or even have installed MSN Messenger.

there is an option in outlook to diasble it, otherwise use this:

Uninstall messenger

To do so click run. Then Type:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
 
or go into program files\messenger and rename the file to "MessengerOFF" and that should take care of it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
