Greetings,
That setting actually only works in certain circumstances. There's actually another hidden
setting that stops Messenger integrating with Outlook Express in all circumstances.
To use it, close Outlook Express then download and run this .reg file:

Then restart Outlook Express and Messenger will no longer be integrated, period.

I'm having trouble w/ Windows Messenger logging in by itself while I'm using Outlook
Express. I have the settings in Outlook's options menu so that Messenger doesn't log in
automatically...but it's doing it anyway...sometimes. It's really frustrating because I
like to leave my email browser open in case new mail arrives but then I end up getting
instant messages from friends when I don't want to. I'm beginning to think that my only
option is to remove Messenger all together but I hate to do that because I do use it. Is
there anything else to do that I haven't tried? I see no option in Messenger itself to
halt the problem. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
