Starting of Outlook Express (WinXP Home)takes a very long
time, about 20 sec. How can I change that?
 
Open Outlook Express and from its Toolbar select:
Tools > Options. Under the "General tab", uncheck
"Automatically logon on to Windows Messenger",
then click on "Apply".

Hi,

Click start, select run and type regedit, and click ok.

Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft].

Create a new key by the name "Messenger" and then within that another key by
the name "Client". This is equivalent to creating and navigation to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client].

Within this create a DWORD key by the name "PreventRun" and set its value to
1. Quit registry and even though not a must, its a good idea to reboot.
This should prevent messenger from loading, and speed up Outlook express.

A more easier method, if you dont like registry editing...

Go to C:\Program Files and rename Messenger directory to something else e.g.
MessengerOff. This works as well.

Best of luck,

can this be fixed?
