Clair Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Click on the Vista button bottom left, then find the Configuration Panel in the list on the right.In the Configuration Panel , just below the Programs option, click on Start-up Programs.When the panel opens, click on Show all users at the bottom left then highlight Windows Mail by clicking on it.On the bottom right, click on Deactivate.

Jacqui Too Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi I'm back after trying to sort this out I did all that Clair told me, but realised as soon as I switched it on and it was starting up that the dial up connection box appeared and if I closed it it would appear again in a minute or less, the only way to stop this annoying box was to minimise it and leave it in the task tray.As I was not there long enough to connect to the dial up I was unable to see if Claire's advice worked so I will have to come back on that one.So I have two little annoying problemsAny ideas how to stop the second one?
