Outlook Express Slow to Open

[Jim Dorso]

My Outlook Express takes over 30 seconds to open in
Windows XP, regardless of content. Earlier , I had this
problem but luckily found a "tweak" which involved
removing two items from the registry. OE was then able to
open virtually instantly.

Since then, I had occasion to re-install Windows XP
(which put the old registry back in) and I'm faced with
the same problem and am unable to recall the solution.

Can anyone out there identify the two items, which are
contiguous, that I need to remove from the registry?

On Page 21 of these files, I found a simple solution:
In Windows Explorer go to Program Files -Messenger.
Rename Messenger to Messengeroff. IT WORKED!
