Outlook 2003 and Windows Messenger

[Kevin Spencer]

I use a machine at home and a machine at work. I leave both running all the
time. I have Windows Messenger running on both, and Outlook 2003 on both. My
home machine always hijacks Windows Messenger whenever it does a
Send/Receive. I downloaded the ORK and used the Group Policy editor to turn
off every Windows Messenger-related item I could see, but no luck. To be
honest, I don't care if Windows Messenger is *at all* connected with my
Office 2003 installation. I only use it for instant messaging with a few
people. But I can't get it to stop! Anyone have a clue?

What do you mean it hijacks? Logs you off work at work? Disable autologon at
home..

Thanks Diane,

Yes, it logs me off at work. What exactly do you mean by "disable autologon
at home?" "autologon" to what? From what application? In what way is this
supposed to be done?

Remove your passport from windows messenger at home and set messenger not to
log on you on automatically.
