How do I either DISABLE Instant Messenger or set the application to make me
appear OFF LINE "forever."

No matter what I do the darn app's apparent default settings make me appear
on line as soon as I get on the Net.

I don't want to remover the application altogether. I would just prefer it
to work like Yahoo by enabling me to set it to appear invisible until I
change it to something else.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
 
How is this Outlook related? And why are you multiposting?

If this isn't Outlook Related then why doesn't MS get the bloody thing OFF
Outlook.

A lot of us just don't want it running UNTIL we say so and not before.

I am not surprised that those who remove it STILL find it showing EVEN in
Outlook. I really don't care to see whether anyone in my address book is in
Messenger. And want to turn it off.

A proper reply would be much appreciated.
 
You are talking about a different thing here.
