MSN6 + Outlook Express

[Sunil Sood]

Running WinXP SP1

I have just installed MSN6 and tried to "hide" Windows Messenger 4.7
(via set Program Access etc) and telling it not to run when OE is
launched it.

However, in OE none of my MSN contacts seem to appear in my
Contacts/Address list anymore - does anyone know how I can get them
back?

Regards
Sunil

Try undoing what you just did.

Unfortunately in Windows XP Outlook Express, MSN Messenger 6 cannot integrate with the
Contacts list -- only Windows Messenger can (hence why you don't see

anything).

Ah well. thanks for letting me know Jonathan.

Do you know if there is any chance that this functionality will be added
in future?

Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

The next version of Windows is supposed to fix a lot of these issues, I have no idea if it
will be fixed before then.
