Guest nellie2 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I think mine is still lurking somewhere..... I uninstalled it and told outlook not to start it but I didn't edit the registry because I don't like fiddling in the registry!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nellie2 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 add remove programs. I then went into outlook and told it not to start messenger when outlook was started. So it doesn't start up but I know it is still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
