From: Stuart on 2 Jan 2010 06:46 How do I permanently disable msn messenger? Cheers. StoneColdChri wrote: Disable MSN Messenger from Automatic Startup 13-Nov-07 I am running Vista Home Premium. At start-up, the MSN Windows Live Messenger box is loaded. I can go into "Administrative Tools", then "System Configuration" and click the "Start Up" tab and see a check mark in the box for MSN Messenger. I click this to remove the check so that it does not start at Start Up and the next time I turn on the computer, Messenger does not start. If I go back into System Configuration I see that the box for MSN Messenger is still unchecked. However, the next tmie I start up the computer, the Messenger box again appears and the box is again checked in System Configuration. I cannot uninstall MSN Messenger as MSN will not run without it, but I do not use MSN Messenger and do not want it auto-loading and hogging my resources. When I first got this computer earlier this year I was somehow able to permanently disable MSN Messenger from automatically loading from start up, but I can't remember how I did it. Can anyone help me permanently disableMSN Messenger from loading at start up?

But disabling from startup is different from actually removing it; Messenger will still start, regardless if you've "disabled" it or not. To properly disable Messenger from starting up, just open it up, press the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menubar, choose the Tools menu, then Options, then the General category and then uncheck the 'Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows' option. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2007 Jonathan Kay.
