This is a follow up from my post on Outlook Express and Windows Messenger
intagration.
There may be some of you that are afraid to go near the registry. This is
somewhat understandable as you can muck things up in there mores so than you
can with general computing.
So to save you the hassle and worry i've created a file that will do it for
you.
http://www.djpaddy.co.uk/misc/turn off messenger intagration with OE.zip
Unzip the file you've just downloaded.
Double click on the file "turn off messenger intagration with OE.reg" within
the zip and say yes to the prompt that comes up.
