    In msn messenger options, not IE options - follow as Browntoa said... If you cant see the menu toolbar in msn you have to click the first small icon in the namebar (looks like a window with a down arrow) and click 'show the menu bar'... took me ages to work that out!!!

    when messenger is open go into TOOLS, then OPTIONS, then GENERAL, then take the tick out of "Automatically run windows live messenger when i log onto windows"

    See you got it sorted, well done
