108288 2002-12-25 21:19:00 I don't use MSN Messenger at all. How do I turn it off? I tried to right-click to close it but when I open my OE it comes back on.

Do I have to uninstall it and can I uninstalled it?

My OS is XP Professional SP1. IE 6 SP1

108289 2002-12-25 23:02:00 Hi bk T.If you bring up the sign in screen for MSN Mess,click on tools,options,preferences,and the top line there should be an option to select or deselect "run when Windows starts".I've stopped it loading that way on ME. Neil McC (178)

Thanks heaps for posting that link!
I dont actually use msn messenger, but when my better ½sson comes here and wants to message all his msn pals, i shall point him at my Linux box and say "Go imp-boy, login and do your worst."

That option has been unchecked. It still loads when I launch my Outlook Express.
