MSN Messenger self starting when start pc

puzzles

Can anyone help me to stop MSM Messenger for automatically starting on my pc when I log in. It starts three times!!!! I don't even use Messenger!!

If you dont use messenger then simply uninstall it

If you want to stop it from starting, then open it and goto OPTIONS
UNTICK the option of starting with windows
SAVE and exit

closed

Probably have a few more unnecessary startup apps too

Thanks for the suggestions, I have tried the link you sent. it seems to have stopped 2 of the 3 MSN messengers from starting up. Any other suggestion on getting rid of this last MSN Messenger from starting automatically.

What OS you using?

Either way, find the 'Run' prompt (think it's under Accessories on XP, it is on Vista), type in 'msconfig', go on the Startup tab, deselect any MSN ones.

3 messengers?

I assume one of them wasnt msn or live messenger then?
