    MSN messenger is ridiculous! I've stopped it in the startup programs but it still opens up at boot. When I check the startup programs, there's a second msn messenger?? If I disable this one, it won't start with windows on next boot and only show one msn messenger in the startup programs. But then it comes back the next startup..
    Windows is making fun of me. I DONT WANT YOUR MESSENGER AT BOOT MICROSOFT ARG.
    Anyone else have this little issue? :) (I've reinstalled it and I'd also like to keep it as my chatting program)

    Check the Tools menu(or Option) in MSN... there should box that says 'Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Window'...uncheck it.
