Messenger Auto Sign

[Guest]

every time Outlook Express is opened Messenger is signing
in without being asked to. Does not do it when i connect
the internet. Only when opening Outlook. Also, contacts
on messenger appearing in Outlook contact list and as
this is a shared computer i dont want this happening. Any
ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you want this problem to stop, you will have to completely uninstall
Windows Messenger. If you switch to MSN Messenger, you won't have that
problem anymore.

Greetings,

To stop this behavior, close Outlook Express, then download and run the following .reg file:

After this, not only will Messenger not load, but it won't integrate your Messenger contacts
