outlook express causes AOL IM to open

[Guest]

every time I open outlook Express it opens my Instant
Messenger at the same time. I have already de-selected
the "Automatically log on to AOL Instant Messenger" choice
in the Outlook options, General tab. What causes this and
how do I fix it?

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
