163396 2003-07-28 08:31:00 thanks mejobloggs, that got rid of the contact list, but msn still opens with Outlook. Tony S. (450)
163397 2003-07-28 08:48:00 I think this should stop Messenger from loading when you open Outlook Express, Hotmail, etc.

1. Start > run > type regedit

2. Navigate to the following key
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F3A614DC-ABE0-11d2-A441-00C04F795683}\LocalServer32]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe\""

(This can be done easily by searching for F3A614DC in the registry and it will automatically take you there).

163399 2003-07-29 03:49:00 To mejobloggs, thanks, it did work after a reboot. Great thinking there. That's defeated Microsoft hasn't it?
Cheers to all!
