Windows Messenger

[Jay Stutzmann]

After installing SP2 on XP Home Edition something is loading Windows
Messenger even though I've done everything I can think of to turn it off
[I've disabled Windows Messenger Service -- Windows Messenger is something
different].

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John

To disable "Windows Messenger":

Open "Windows Messenger" and from the Toolbar select
Tools > Options > Preferences and uncheck:

"Run this program when Windows starts" and
"Allow this program to run in the background", then
click OK.

Next, open Outlook Express and from the Toolbar select
Tools > Options and under the General tab uncheck
"Automatically log on to Windows Messenger" and click
APPLY.
