Hello,

This is really confusing to me I have set new identities
in Outlook Express by the time I add the third identity it
looks for messenger and runs in the background. The main
identity or the second identity do not have this problem.
All boxes are unchecked so that messenger does not run at
start up or with Outlook Express.

I have even uninstalled messenger 4.7 with the unistall
program through windows. After a reboot the third
identity still boots up messenger and the icon says not
logged in. When I try to close it it wont because it
states that a program is currently using it.

My next step was that I went to the reg edit and turned
off messenger from even running (i followed microsofts
instructions), but now when I switch to the third
identitiy it takes forever to come up or locks outlook
express up.
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Greetings Bry,

To fix all these problems, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/stopmessenger_oe.reg

After this, Outlook Express and Messenger will no longer be linked, Messenger will no longer
be started by Outlook Express, nor will you see any "delay" when starting Outlook Express
after disabling Windows Messenger.
