That would be Windows Messenger and it does make a bit of a nuisance of itself with OE . You need to go into the Options in both programs to disable from running when Windows and OE is started, and you also need to not have the Contacts list showing in your layout otherwise Messenger will always keep opening with OE .

They can be disabled from within the Options .

MSN Messenger is a different program to Windows Messenger - you need to download it . Windows Messenger comes with Windows .

300480 2004-12-07 09:16:00 there's always Mercury Messenger

it comes with some nice features that msn doesn't have including lots of extras to keep you happy ;)

msn doesn't seem to 'take over' for me and you can disable it from starting when you load windows in its options.

also msn 7beta has been released www.msn.com click messenger, beta.
its an improvement from the older version of course and it has this amusing feature called 'nudge'
