43998 2002-04-15 23:31:00 Hi - I've just downloaded messenger so I can stay in touch with a friend. However - now everytime I load Outlook to check my email messenger loads as well. I don't want this to happen so does anybody know how to stop it? Guest (0)

We looked at Msn for a short time, is there not a option in the setup menu not to load msn automatically, cannot quite remember. Another way would be Start > Run > type in msconfig and remove it from the startup of your system so you would only run it as required from your start/program list.

Then ensure there is no tick next to 'Run This Program When Windows Starts' and also no tick next to 'Allow This Program to Run in The Background'.

You will also find these options in Outlook Express under Tools / MSN Messenger / Options
