64357 2002-07-22 11:13:00 Hey guys... just wondering if you're using Outlook Express, how you go about turning off messenger so it doesn't keep logging itself in everytime you open Outlook Express.

Thanks again!

Lo.

64361 2002-07-22 11:26:00 There is an option somewhere to stop it from autologging in.

But I don't know how to get it to not go the system tray when OE is opened.

64362 2002-07-22 11:29:00 Try just renaming the Messenger executable.

e.g. change msmsgs.exe to something like NOSUCH_msmsgs.exe
In WinXP the executable should be in:

%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Messenger

where %SystemDrive% is C: or D: or ....

64363 2002-07-22 12:02:00 try installing msn plus, it has features which give u more control over msn messenger. it's an extention to messenger. might be of some significance? + it is not an official product it is legal but is not supproted by ms.

64364 2002-07-22 12:05:00 It's somewhere in the settings..I just can't be bothered looking right now sorry, I had a long day. MSN does have an option for stopping it from opening when windows starts..but I think on outlook has the option to stop it loading how you said. Naraku Kasai (1028)
64365 2002-07-22 12:22:00 Hi

1.

In messenger, click on Tools / Options / Preferences.

Remove the ticks from:

- Run this program when windows starts
- Allow this program to run in the background

Click OK

2.

In Outlook Express, click on Tools / Options / General tab.

Remove tick from:

- Automatically log onto msn messenger

Click OK

Click View / Layout

Remove tick from:

- Contacts

Click OK.

3.

Further ... If you don't want messenger to start when you Boot up your PC, and the above steps don't stop that, and you are using Win98.

- Click Start / Run
- Type msconfig
- Press enter

Click the StartUp tab, and remove ticks from

- MSMSGS
- LoadQM

Click OK and re-boot your PC.

Hopefully, all fixed.

J. :D
