How can i turn off messenger so does not start when xp starts? I used
msconfig and unchecked in startup but then appears again on start up.
 
Hi Phil,

Go to Start/Run - type in "msmsgs" without the quotes and click ok. Click
on the Preferences tab and uncheck, "Run Windows Messenger when Windows
starts " and "Allow Windows messenger to run in the background".

Hi Darrell I typed in msmsgs without the quotes, it just opened messenger to
where you would sign in. Anything else i can try?
 
Phil, sorry I left out one step. Go to Start/Run - type in "msmsgs"
without the quotes and click ok. Click on Tools/Options - on the Preferences
tab uncheck the following, "Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts " and
"Allow Windows messenger to run in the background" then click OK.

When you restart your system, Windows Messenger should no longer start at
start up.
