Guys,
I have found the solution to Question 4 in MS Knowledge Base or whatever they call it. It doesn't seem to remove it but it disables it. Thank goodness it doesn't try to automatically start every time I start OE now. HOWEVER now it takes ages for Outlook Express to start. I am presuming it is looking to start Windows Messenger, and the system doesn't let it, so it's sulking. Any way of fixing this?
