Disable Live Messenger

[Jeff Jewitt]

I cannot stop the sign-in window for Live Messenger from starting up
automatically. I don't use this program at all. I have tried removing it from
the Control Panel (remove Windows Components), but the program still shows up
in program files. How do I delete this program or at least stop it from
starting up automatically. Have tried just about everything but a regedit
which I am reticent to do.

IF you want to post inquiries in multiple groups PLEASE cross post so
that each group will know about answers in reply to the inquiry in the
other group(s).

open live messenger...go to the tools tab, click it, and go down to
"options", and when it opens select the "general tab", then "uncheck" where
it says " automatically run windows live messenger when i log onto windows.
click apply, then ok.
