Thank all of you for your help. I went to doug Knox's Internet page. there is a
script there which I ran and solved my problem. The info is below.
xp_messsenger_remove.vbs - Remove Windows Messenger
© Doug Knox - 3/30/02
This is a Visual Basic Script file which will remove Windows® Messenger from
Windows® XP. It will also adjust your System Registry to prevent a long delay
when opening Outlook Express when Windows Messenger is removed or disabled.
To use: Download the xp_messenger_remove.vbs file and save it to your hard
drive. Close Windows Messenger if its open, or active in your System Tray.
Double-click the xp_messenger_remove.vbs file. You will be prompted that
Messenger must be closed to continue. Click Yes. This script makes the same
changes as the manual procedure, below.
If you prefer to remove Windows Messenger manually, click Start, Run and enter
the following command:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Note: This will prevent a long delay when opening Outlook Express if you have
the Contacts pane enabled. To prevent this, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Right click in the right pane and select New, Dword value. Give it the name
Hide Messenger Double click this new entry and set the value to 2.

With outlook express, In the tools menu, click options. On the general tab,
you should find a checkbox for msn messenger loading. Uncheck that. It will say
something to the effect of run msn messenger when outlook express starts.

I have a problem with Outlook Express on one of my computers. When I am in
Outlook Express, there is an item which shows up about me not being signed into
Windows Messenger. It also shows up in the Outlook Express options. It doesn't
show up on the other computer, even though I am running the same software on
both computers.
I do not have Windows Messenger installed, and it doesn't show up in the
control panel under add or remove programs.
How do I get Windows Messenger disassociated with my Outlook Express again.
Thank you.
