Messenger automatically logs on from Outlook

[Charles A. Lackman]

Hello,

I have changed all the settings that I know about in Messenger and Outlook
Express so that when I check my email Messenger does not logon in the
background. The problem is that it does it anyway. I do not want Messenger
to logon unless I start the program myself, especially NOT when Outlook
starts.

Any Help or Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck
