When I start my computer and the desk top screen opens the MSN Folder from
the program files opens. I can close it, but every time I turn on my
computer the same thing happens. How do I stop this from happening?

msnmsgr C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe /background

Start Regedit.exe and navigate to the following registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Fix the Value data for above entry (msnmsgr), so that its data becomes:
"C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background
Close Regedit.exe
