Thank you for your helpful suggestion. I've gone ahead and done what you've
suggested. Now, I must restart my computer to engage the "kill." :o)

To prevent AIM from starting when you open Outlook Express, go to the Sign
On/Off preferences category in AIM and disable the "Make AIM my default
instant messaging program" option.

Note: You must restart your computer after making the changes.

Please. How do I get rid of the AOL Instant Messenger "sign-on" pop-up
every time I open Internet Explorer 6? As well as the AOL Instant
Messenger
icon in the taskbar every time that the sign-on pop-up pops up when
opening
Internet Explorer 6?

Two questions. Getting rid of the (1) the AOL IM sign-on pop-up and (2)
the
subsequent AOL IM icon in the taskbar.

All that being said, I do not wish to uninstall AOL IM.

Thanks.

WinXP, SP1, IE6
