276448 2004-09-28 08:06:00 !@#$%^&*()

Today, when I started Outlook Express, all of a sudden there is Win Mess too - and I don't want it, I don't use it, I hate it - it slows down everything.

I've already undid all the little ticks in the Options folder of Outlook Express, no tick anywhere in Win Mess - but the !@#$^&* still starts up.

Where else does this !#$%^& sit? Can I delete it permanently?

WinXP, P4, 1.7 Ghz, Firefox but still use Outlook Express (yes, I know I know, but I have to transfer the email addy's first)

Anybody help?

Thanks

www.kellys-korner-xp.com

Run it and it'll remove it from XP and kill it completely. You'll have to reboot after it removes it.

Thats one annoying thing with Windows Messenger until u install SP2.

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

and it worked a bomb

Thanks for the person who did the code!!!!
