Answer 2

Click Start and then Run. Type "msconfig" without the quotes into the run box and click "OK". This will open the Windows configuration utility. In this window click "Startup. Uncheck the boxes for the software that you don't want to start up with windows. Be careful not to stop things like your virus of firewall software from starting. A little reading and thinking and all should be fine. Now click "Apply" and then "OK". You will now need to reboot your system. That should fix the problem.

If you don't wish to work in the msconfig utility, there is probably a switch within msm messenger that will allow you to choose weather the messenger starts with Windows or not.
