outlook express and messenger problems
I occaisionally like to use msnmessenger, but when I'm not directly using
it, I like it to remain off as it's a pain in the ass when I'm trying to do things and people keep wanting to chit chat. Anyways, I selected the option in my windows xp config so msnmessenger doesn't start at start up, also selected the option in in messenger so it won't start when I turn on windows, but everytime I open outlook express messenger starts up and I can't seem to stop it. I try to turn it off and messenger says "outlook express can't be shutdown with outlook open as the program is relying on it" which is really BS because I used outlook for years without having messenger and it worked just fine. How do I prevent messenger from starting up when I open outlook express then?? I'd like to keep messenger but if I have to I'll get rid of it happilly if I can't prevent from starting except when I want it to.. Help?? zigzag |
