Hi, doing the below will force Ms-Config into selective startup mode, it's always better to take the program out of startup within its own options. The different messenger clients have a checkbox for that under I believe,e tools/options.

Also reading your last message something you can try is to go into run and type in msconfig. When it opens control tab to start up tab and uncheck the thing that pertains to windows messenger. When done hit ok and you will need to reboot. When this happens messenger should no longer start up. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- From: "ROSEMARIE CHAVARRIA" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 8:01 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] alternatives to windows messenger > I'm talking about windows messenger. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "matthew" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, December 06, 2009 8:46 AM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] alternatives to windows messenger > > >> Hello there.
