Greetings Jens,
Unfortunately you can't just change this registry entry to make it use MSN Messenger
instead -- MSN Messenger 6 does not integrate with Outlook Express on Windows XP.
To solve the "slow down" and to prevent Windows Messenger from starting with Outlook Express
(assuming you undo the registry change), simply close Outlook Express, then download and run
this .reg file:
