    Alright...
    When I open Outlook Express it displays the splash screen for quite a while before actually opening. It takes forever to open. I believe this has something to do with automatically starting my AOL Instant Messenger. Because I turned that feature off before and it started up quickly, but I dont know how I killed that feature before... How do I stop it from autoloading AIM?

    Thanks,
    Breezy

    From the AIM buddy list click My AIM>edit options>edit preferences>sign on/off and uncheck 'make AIM default messaging' , apply, OK. Using XP? Go to contro; panel>add/remove programs, on left side click 'set program access/defaults , choose custom and open, choose 'current' for messaging. May need to reboot.
