Hi,

How do I get rid of MS Messenger without hurting Outlook Express? Are the two integreted?

Thanks,

Rich

NO, they are not integrated. (just good friends)

Make sure on the first page of OE's Options menu, that the box to start Messenger is NOT checked.

Then make sure it's not listed in MSCONFIG as starting up on boot. If it is, uncheck it.

Then if you really hate it as much as I do, go to it's folder and delete it.

In 'services.msc' you can scroll down to messenger and set it to "Disable".

That pretty well covers all the bases.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Good Luck,
