when yahoo or msn is loaded go to the settings or option tab and select for them not to start up when your computer is switched on
no need to disable anythng else

For MSN, expand the messenger screen. Go to tools-->Options-->General and uncheck the box that allows automatic sign in. The same should generally apply to Yahoo!

Those messengers royally s&*% d(&$^£'s A&&!
Try a MULTI-PROTOCOL one, which does all of MSN IM - Yahoo IM - IRC, Jabber etc etc in one application.
- Trillian
- Psi
- Miranda
- Gaim
Except Trillian, they're all lighter and faster than using all the single-protocol ones together.
On Windows, I particularly like Miranda - it's super light, and does all the basics.

Better than the MSCONFIG startup. Free and safe. Good luck.

go into the options of each (or preferences) and turn off automatic start up and logon.
