WIndows Messenger
Feb. 9th, 2003 05:05 pmI recently installed XP on my machine and I read about a reg hack to make the stupid Messenger icon get out of my quick launch task bar but I can't remember what it is. Anyone have a clue? Of course you can't fomd any info on MS' site about it...

Ok: Tools -> Options -> Preferences Tab -> uncheck 'Run this program when Windows starts'
All done.

there. done. This is basically an uninstall of the program. It will stop working across all user accounts and... well, you didn't really need it anyway right?. I believe it's also easy to add again as a Windows component, just in case you change your mind. Just a pain to shut off.
