Disable MSN Messenger on boot up?

Options
I am a v occasional user of MSN Messenger, so I don't want to remove it altogether, but I find it v irritating waiting for it to start up when I boot up my pc. Is it possible to do anything about this?

Thanks

    Open MSN Messenger, Tools, Options, General Tab. Uncheck Automatically run messenger when I log into windoze box.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • Just click start
    then run
    then type in msconfig
    click the tab marked start up
    look for messenger
    un tick it

    Hope this helps
