re: Outlook Express starts Win Messenger, why?! How to get rid of it? Monday, August 18, 2003 at 3:09 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Justin (3 messages posted) If you want to continue to use Windows Messenger, but don't want it to run w/ OE, the second REGEDIT works PERFECTLY!!! One thing I noticed about the Group Policy Edit was that it slowed down the OE startup TREMENDOUSLY!!! Plus, that prevents use at all. -JC On Tuesday, November 19, 2002 at 6:48 am, J.T.
