Disable Sametime Prompt

A couple of our users are getting prompts to "Log on to instant messaging" when opening Lotus Notes when they don't even have Sametime installed.  How can I disable this prompt?

Thanks

Hi, go on the location document and remove the sametime server.
This should remove the login prompt.

In Notes, you have to click the option to edit current profile.
From the popup menu that you access by clicking on the small black triangle shaped arrow, choose, "Edit Current..."

From here, choose the "Instant Messaging" tab and set the "Connect" option to manual.

SameTime( a really limited version is integrated into the Notes email client).

"From the popup menu that you access by clicking on the small black traiangle shaped arrow".  Really?  Could you be any more specific?

Okay, those examples were for 6.5 so not sure locations for 8.5. I can install 8.5 here in a few minutes though and check it for you if you need it.

All right, thanks buddy.

The only thing you did not say was to go to instant messaging and change to manual connection, which I was able to figure out.

And 8.5.1 Basic is about the same, except there are two buttons; one with the mail symbol, and another for your location settings.  I'm not sure how to get to the location document in 8.5.1 Standard, but during installation you can pick not to install Sametime on Standard.

Thanks very much.

Oops, looks like you put all of the other information after I had already accepted the solution.
I was looking at version 8, and the settings I descibed were not in the same place...not sure about ver 8.5.

Looks like the correct location for ver 8, is just off of the "File" menu > "Sametime" > "Cancel Login to Sametime".

This was already resolved.  Like I said there is a location button next to the mail button on 8.5.  This is where I went to fix the issue.
