Can't delete Inbox from my Desktop
« on: September 23, 2005, 03:35:44 PM »
Hi All  ;D

While installing an old copy of Corel Word, it also installed an Inbox on my desktop.  :o I think this is Microsoft Messenger.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it. It doesn't show up in msconfig's startup listing and I can't find the "exe" file which launches it. Clicking on "properties" only launches it.

OS = Windows 98 SE

Thanks in anticipation ....

    Hi  ;D

    1. There is no "delete" available when right-clicking on the icon
    2. It can't be dragged to the Recycle Bin (just pops back to where it was)
    3. There is nothing in the ADD/REMOVE listings
    4. A search of my HD only shows my Outlook Express Inbox

    (sigh) :-[

    I think it is a Network messaging program ...
    I can't access the "properties" of this icon - it launches a settings window when I try.

    It has been on my desktop for about 4 days now (and through several re-boots)
