Greetings,

To stop this behavior, close Outlook Express, then download and run the
following .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...ssenger_oe.reg

After that, Messenger and Outlook Express will be separated for good.

I'm intentionally x-posting this message because this is an issue that
crosses over into both newsgroups.

I'm using Windows 2000 and I've tried to disable mobsync from starting
with
Windows but it seems keep reoccuring. The MSN Messenger icon appears in
the
taskbar when Outlook Express is started. The problem is, according to my
son, his MSN Messenger contacts are replicated in OE contacts. When he
deleted contacts from the OE address book, they were deleted from his
MSN
Messenger contacts list as well.

I want to sever the link between Messenger and OE--to stop Messenger
from
starting with OE. It was very easy with Windows 98SE. How would I do
this in
Windows 2000?
