Hi Jay,
Remote Assistance and Windows Messenger are linked together. When Windows XP was released,
MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger were the same products, which is why we're now seeing
this.
It will start up with Outlook, unless you turn off the Windows Messenger integration in
Outlook. To do so, for Outlook (XP/2002), just open Outlook, click the Tools menu, then
Options, then the Other tab, and uncheck 'Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook'.
For Outlook Express, close Outlook Express, and run this .reg file:
