Ad-aware OE/ Messenger Control v1.0

Nov 16, 2003 2:22PM PST

Ad-aware OE/WM Control allows you to "Enable" or "Disable" the Windows Messenger which loads with Outlook Express on Windows XP. When opening Outlook Express on XP, Messenger launches in the background. Messenger is not the same as the Windows Messenger Service which is being used to exploit Spam.

Thanks Donna! This is a neat plug-in. My messenger was already disabled. The plug-in verified the setting. Good to have in case I sometime need to quickly enable messenger.
