I have XP Home running on my computer. Yesterday I signed into the Microsoft
site with my .NET passport to get some support info - and since then, when I
log onto my Internet service I get a message that Windows Messenger needs to
be updated. I DON'T use Windows Messenger - it is in my sys tray with a
little X that is it not active.

I would like to stop getting this message as I don't want to update it since
I don't use it. Would uninstalling Messenger stop that message - or is there
another way? Will uninstalling it affect my Outlook Express? I don't mind it
being there, I just don't want to get those update messages.

Thanks!
