Windows Tips
End Messenger: Take Three
A tip in the February 2003 issue ("Wage War on Spam With Old Tools and New Filters") promised to help you stop Windows Messenger from launching by renaming its folder. Unfortunately, Windows XP Home Edition doesn't let you rename the folder. Instead, right-click inside the Messenger folder window and choose New, Folder. Name the folder backup and press Enter. Select all the files in the Messenger folder and drag them into the new folder. The next time you start Outlook Express, it may take longer to launch (or it may not launch at all), but after that initial tantrum, OE will return to normal. Windows won't be able to start Messenger in the future, but the program files will still be on your system if you decide to use Messenger later on.
