Replace windows messenger with msn, retain outlook integration?

[Henne]

Guess this has been already asked a thousand times, but I cant find a
definitive yes or no...

Is it possible to "replace" windows messenger with MSN messenger and
retain the integration with outlook/outlook express (so msn messenger is
actually integrated so you dont get signed off on msn by windows
messenger starting)?

I know you can uninstall/unregister windows messenger, but then msn
messenger integration is still missing in outlook/express.

Any definitive yes or no if this is possible?

Greetings Henne,

This is not possible, MSN Messenger is totally different and will not integrate in this way.

You could just disable WM in IE Tools/Manage Add-ons, also Adaware SE (good
for cleaning adware out) has two useful Messenger plug-ins, one for
OE/Disable Messenger
