I have an Outlook Express question. I use Windows XP and

recently upgraded my hard drive. After re-installing XP on

the new hard drive I set about setting up express again

and encountered something I had forgotten about. When you

open Express, it automatically opens Messenger. It does

not sign in, just opens the program. I went into options

in both Express and Messenger and unselected the automatic

sign in feature in both programs but Messenger still pops

up when I open Express. I know there is a way to stop that

from happening (again it is not signing in, just opening

the program & I can't close Messenger as long as Express

is open) but I can't remember how I stopped it last time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks
