Hello,

Everytime I hit the outlook express button AIM opens? How do I make it where just outlook opens? Thanks, Kyle

Open the AIM properties. You will find a place to stop it from opening.

It isn't in AIM Prefs, it's in Outlook Express. Click Tools, then Options, and uncheck Automatic Logon to Instant Messenger (or something to that effect)

It's uncheck and my aim still opens when outlook starts. What's more anoying is that EVERYONE on my buddy list is now in my outlook express contacts.

I just installed the latest version of AIM and now I really regret it.
