I figured out How to STOP "Windows Messenger" from Starting when I start Outlook 2002... In Outlook 2002, Select Tools->Options Under the "Other" Tab, UNCHECK the CheckBox next "Enable Instant Messenging In Microsoft Outlook" and then APPLY and Click OK. I would guess that somewhere in the WinXP Registry is an Association to the "Windows Messenger" program to be used in Outlook 2002 (I don't know where, yet). ---Paul -----Original Message----- From: mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Aurich Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 8:51 PM To: mswindowsxp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mswindowsxp] Re: Windows Messenger UPDATE Causes a 2nd Occurrance of Messenger I have the same problem. It's usually when I start outlook that the older version starts up but it doesn't automatically log on. I don't know how to fix it because I have even tried to yet.

The other day I got a Notification from Windows Messenger (I use it along with other IM programs) that there was an UPDATE available for the program. I agreed to download and install the update and it appeared to install successfully. The problem is that it apparently installed a 2nd Windows Messenger program. The 2nd Version is called MSN MESSENGER 5.0 and they both try to start when my computer starts. Has anyone else run into this issue? MSN Messenger seems to have some features that are slightly improved over Windows Messenger, but How do I uninstall Windows Messenger? Also, Everytime I Start Outlook 2002, The Windows Messenger trys to start. How do I get Outlook 2002 to start looking at MSN Messenger for its IM Association? Thanks & I hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving... :-) ---Paul ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm ================================== To Unsubscribe, set digest or vacation mode or view archives use the below link. http://thethin.net/winxplist.cfm
