Stop messenger from starting on startup
I can't stop messenger from starting on startup. I've
done the preferences thing and unchecked every box. I've turned it off in Outlook and IE. I've downloaded Tweak UI powertoys and made some changes with that and it still continues to turn on and bring up that anoying little screen at startup. I don't care if it's on the machine but I don't want it on all the time. |

Stop messenger from starting on startup
Greetings,
Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Windows Messenger and cause it to also keep starting. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "wonheart" wrote in message ...
