Another thing I never use in OE (except when testing for others' incidents) is Identity switching. Identity switching may be expose another implementation quirk because I seem to recall that that caused the Contacts pane to be switched on which in turn caused the Messenger extension to be re-activated. However, that may really be caused by Identity creation, not Identity switching, once the Contacts pane gets disabled in a new identity. FYI Robert Aldwinckle --- |

Open up your third party Antivirus, Malware and/or Firewall program and check to see if it has an option that is toggled on to monitor Messenger. If present disable it since many of these types will cause Messenger to be loaded regardless of Messenger or Windows Live Mail settings. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "JethroUK©" <reply@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#LUfnDlLJHA.1304@xxxxxx Quote: > sorry i dont understand? > > "...winston" <winstonmvp@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#YyREraLJHA.1308@xxxxxx Quote: >> Using an AV that has an option to protect against Messenger malware..if so disable it.. >> >> -- >> ...winston >> ms-mvp mail >> >> >> "JethroUK©" <reply@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uAORcyWLJHA.2164@xxxxxx Quote: >>> How do I stop Messenger starting each time I start Live Mail? >>> >>> I have set messenger to: Automatically Run Messenger when I log on = UNchecked >>> >>> I have set live mail to: Automatically log on to Live Messenger = UNchecked >>> >>> This has been an annoyance since Outlook Express and if there's no solution I get rid of messenger all together >> |

For Windows Live Messenger 8.5.1302.1018: Tools | Options | General: [ ] Automatically run Windows Live Messener when I log on to Windows...unchecked. You might also check this setting in Windows Live Mail: Tools | Options | Connection: "Connecting to Windows Live services: If you have a button labeled, "Stop signing in", click on it. Quote: > Like i say - it's an age old annoyance (it is specifically designed that > way) and i can only assume my set up is 'the norm' Messenger, or not. But I have it disabled, did enable it once, and subsequently disabled it again. Currently, Windows Live Mail does not start Windows Live Messenger, even though it does log in to the Windows Live services. Quote: > I take it there is no solution/settings (on O/Express it was registry hack > only) than uninstall Live messenger and use something else (Yahoo, etc) possibility. Windows Live Messenger does not start unless I start it; even when I start Windows Live Mail. So there is definitely something screwy with your setup. I just don't know where to look. BTW, I tamed that behavior in MS Outlook Express by closing the Contacts pane; I never knew about that registry hack. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
