how do I get rid of AOL Instant Messenger pop-up . . .
 

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.

this is an AOL problem not an outlook express problem, that they may have an
answer for in their helpscreens or user groups, or you might find the
setting in AOL messenger options

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.
