Change start up menu! FRUSTRATED!

Every time I start XP home edition Yahoo Messenger
automatically starts up. I do not have it pinned to my
start up menu. I don't want it to start automatically.
I know there must be another way to access the start up
menu, but I can't find it. Please HELP!

Look for it in start|all programs|startup or run|msconfig|startup tab.

Hi Victoria,
In Yahoo! messenger there must be an option such as "Start yahoo! messenger
when Windows starts.." Uncheck that. If all else fails then type MSCONFIG at
StartRun and flip to the startup tab. Uncheck the entry for Yahoo!
messenger from there.
