Jonathan,
That did the trick. It still loads when I want it, but it doesn't load when
OE loads and I can exit it whenever I want.
Thanks so much. Diana

Thank you Jonathan. Your help might have come at the perfect time. It just
started to load ... signed-in. I didn't want that either. Like I said, I
want it installed, but I only want it to load when I want it.
I'm about to check it out now (had to watch the election results first,
though).

Greetings Diana,
To fix this, close Outlook Express, then close Messenger, and then download
and run the
following .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/stopmessenger_oe.reg
After this, you'll be able to close it whether or not Outlook Express is
open or not.
