msimn.exe

    C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe

    Everytime I delete this file it reappears.
    Everytime I copy a new file over this file it's replaced by the original.
    I've tried via Add or Remove Programs -> Add / Remove Windows Components and still no effect.

    What's making it do this? I want to get rid of it or replace the exe with my own file.


    Windows XP Professional.


    Thanks

    Yes, you can. Fair question I guess. If I can replace it with my own exe I can just code up a exe file in Visual Basic which basically does nothing, this way when the msimn.exe is called nothing will happen. This would solve my problem.

    My problem is when in Firefox I keep clicking the bloody "Send Image" option by mistake and this loads up Outlook Express and all the nonsense setup wizards and new msg windows that go with this.

    Not an answer to your original question but a solution to your problem is to install the menu editor plugin for firefox.

    Its probably Windows' File Protection that keeps replacing the OE executable every time you delete it.

    Oh how hard I've looked for this and never found this. Thanks for the link!

    I don't even care about msimn.exe any more.

    Cheers lads :)

    why not just rearrange your tabs on your menu bar? I have back, forward, refresh, new tab, history, stop and home. Anything else I use the text menus at the top. Job's a goddun!

    It's the right-click menu that was causing problems and now it's not. :)
