Dueling Windows Messenger / MSN Messenger clients

Thanks. I'm running Outlook Express and NAV (2004). I applied the .REG file
and disabled Messenger in NAV. I'll let you know if I still have a problem.
;^)

What is the purpose of the OutlookExpress\HideMessenger registry value in
the .REG file?

Hi Chris,

Basically it severs all connections between Outlook Express, so Outlook Express can't call
Messenger (therefore not starting it, or keeping it running).

Hi,

I have a sort of similar problem. WIith W2K I used to see
all contacts with their status in Outlook Express, MSN
Messenger would start automatically with Outlook. Now I
deleted Windows Messenger because I only want to use MSN
but there does not seem to be any integration anymore and
I cannot see my contacts and their status within Outlook
Express. Is there anything I can do about this behaviour?

Thanks,

Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

Unfortunately no, Outlook Express will not show any information from MSN Messenger on Windows
XP.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for that. Do you have any idea if that
functionality will be added in the future?

Hi,

Near future? I'm not sure, but I know it isn't a priority. The next version of Windows
(yes, quite a ways off) will address the two-client problem a little better, so this type of
functionality stays.
