I got rid of OE on a W2K PC by searching for msimn.exe - 2 occurances -
and renaming it, then immediately rebooting. -George

I have four production servers (W2K/ MF XP)that have suddenly started
creating Outlook Express icons on the user's desktops.  A patch was run
on them from MS recently:

Outlook Express Update Q330994 

I don't know if this is why it is happening or for how long it is
happening.  The customer just started complaining today after user
complaints.  I have searched the registry run entries for something that
would cause this, and checked under Start-All Users, and Start- Default
Users, and there is nothing there in the menu bars (the users get a
custom menu anyway, but I figured I'd look).

The Outlook Express icon doesn't create in my admin profile
(non-roaming) but recreates in roaming user profiles every time. 

Anybody know of someplace in the registry that might control this?  I
would be willing to remove OE, but I can't figure out how to do that
either, the setup.exe in the OE folder won't fire.

Thanks,
