this irritating meg from popping up please guys?

Greetings Adrian,

To stop this, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/stopmessenger_oe.reg

After this, Windows Messenger will no longer be started with Outlook Express, so you won't
see this message.
