Hotmail + Msn Messenger question...

[NotoriousJTC]

Does anyone know how to prevent MSN Messenger from pooping up in my systray everytime i visit my hotmail account? I'm using the new 4.5 version, and it cant be removed from hte systray unless you leave the MSN web page. Kinda irritating.

any tips/tricks would be appreciated.

do you actually use MSN? cant you just uninstall it and get rid of it completely?

I havent used it myself.. but i would be surprised if there wasnt an optoin in there somewhere hidden away that turned off this feature.

this might help get rid of the problem.







okay.. sorry.. its late.. my brain no longer works. The computers in the lab's here have MSN installed on them... if i remember i'll take a look at it in the morning. Knowing microsoft, they probably hid away the solution real well.. but i'm sure there is a way to stop it from coming up in the systray all the time. I'll PM you tomorrow to let you know if i find anything.

If you don't want Messenger to come up in XP, just re-name it
