Re: Can't stop automatic login even with boxes unchecked!

Greetings,

To stop this behavior, close Outlook Express, then download and run the following .reg file:

After this, Messenger will no longer load with OE.

This is a new PC with XP media center and I have an MSN acct using the server
based mail service. I have tried unchecking the automatic login options from
the tools menus in both msn messenger, and in Outlook express which isn't
even set up as a mail client since I primarily use the msn mail server for
mail. I used to just hit the cancel log in button option by right clicking
the messenger toolbar icon as soon as it started flashing on my old 1k AMD
machine but this new Intel P4-D 3K is so bloody quick I can't do that. There
are times when I would rather not telegraph that I'm on the internet to some
of my contacts but can't seem to get messenger to not log in when I go on the
internet regardless of checking or unchecking the boxes.
Thanks in advance.
