MSN messenger starts up when I load Outlook Express. If you use outlook Express you will have to open it up, go into "Tools", then "options"..... and under the "general tab" you'll see a checkbox that says "automatically log on to messenger"... UNcheck it.
Another thing..... try this:
close all programs.
Go to START >> RUN then type in "msconfig" and hit OK.
Go to the "Startup" tab and look at all the shit that you have loading on startup.
Find anything that looks like MSN messenger and UNcheck it.
In fact, you can uncheck EVERYTHING IN THAT LIST. You don't need shit auto-starting, if you need a program opened you can do it manually at your leisure.
Click "APPLY" and then "OKAY"
yes to RESTART
after your system is done booting you will see a little alert box on your desktop that says "selective startup"..... make sure to check the box that says "Do not remind me again" or whatever, and you're good to go.
Your machine will boot a lot quicker and you'll have more available resources without having a bunch of shit loaded that you're not using eating up your RAM.
