Prevent windows live messenger from running at startup


















Thanks for your feedback. Windows Live Messenger opens everytime I boot up my laptop, and it does not allow me to unpin it from the taskbar. Short of uninstalling this program if this is even possible , how can I stop it from opening at startup and unpin it permanently from the task bar?

I have Windows XP Pro. At the risk of stating perhaps too strong an opinion, this falls into the category of really annoying stuff that Microsoft did with Messenger, and with other programs on your machine.

Click on Open to open the program. Click on the Tools menu, the Options menu item, and then the Preferences tab. Now click on OK , then click on the File menu, Close item, and then finally right click on that taskbar icon again and click on the Exit menu item. Fire up Outlook Express, and then click on the Tools menu, the Options menu item, and then make sure that the General tab is showing.

I have all the boxes un-checked. Choose the "general" tab 4. Click the 'Accept' button. But that, for some odd reason, doesn't work for me. If it doesn't work for you Now scroll through the list to find "Messenger" Once you have found it, click the "disable" button. To enable it again, just click "enable", or if you don't ever want it to pop up EVER then click "remove.

Much easier for Vista - 1 click the down arrow at the top that indicates whether available, busy, etc. This is pathetically painful not you Hoboman having to get a whole new page for six new words. Instructables is only interested in selling its upgrades. I don't have the time needed to load the pages bloated with advertisements and gimmicks to read six words.

So it's goodby from me Reply 11 years ago on Introduction. I'm in XP and that doesn't work for me. The messenger service allows for pop-up messages to be sent across a LAN or AD Domain, usually for administrative purposes. Okay, I'm going to the control panel, then programs, but there is no button saying "change startup programs". The only thing there is "uninstall". Is this something to do with windows 7 which I am using?

Yes, I have since upgraded to Windows 7 and have a solution for you.
