how do I stop outlook express from showing at start up of computer. I am
getting message - outlook express can compact to save space on your computer.
I do not use outlook express. I have winXP/WSP3
 
Crossposted to OE General newsgroup.

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults.
Uncheck Outlook Express.

If the prompt shows one more time, let it compact and see if it returns
after that.
 
Try running MSCONFIG and check for MSIMN.EXE in the startup section. (Start
/ Run / msconfig <OK> )
