Lots of very rude words to WinXP, or specifically 'Windows Messenger' and its habit of randomly logging in (logging me out of my perfectly good MSN connection through Trillian) and refusing to close unless OE and IE are also closed.

Am now downloading Opera. Will look into using it as mail client (Parents can use OE, they don't have a Passport associated with their account for bug-squishing reasons). Stupid WinXP, you go squish now.

Control panel, Administrative Tools, Component Services. "Services (Local)" on the left. Scroll down to Messenger, right-click, Properties, and choose disabled as startup type.

Damn Messenger.
