    How To Stop Windows Live Messenger Popping up upon startup

    Hi there, welcome to Guide number 3.

    In this step by step guide I will be showing you how to stop the evil Windows live messenger/Msn messenger from popping up, whenever you start your machine.

    Everytime I start up my laptop Windows live messenger pops-up and slows my computer down and gets in the way, after playing around with some settings I found a way to eliminate this.


    Step One: Get to your desktop.

    Step Two: Now go to your Start Menu, and type 'Msconfig'

    [​IMG]

    Step Three: Now click on "Startup"

    [​IMG]

    Step Four: This will now list the things your machine loads upon start up, scroll through the list until you find 'Windows live messenger'

    [​IMG]

    Step Five: Untick the box and press ok, Upon startup windows live messenger will not show up.

    Feedback is greatly accepted, thank's for taking the time to read this and have a nice day. ^_^

    Work on other programs? Useful 100%. I hate when msn automatically starts along with the other 20 programs. Makes me lag so bad. Thanks. ;P
