Dj, with all do respect, that solution no longer applies with the last update. The option to turn it off has been removed. Now your status is no longer separate, but is under your name:

Hmm.... thanks for the post, but I don't think you read the thread...  I'm not trying to stop the stand-alone client from logging in.... any idiot can easily set that to disable.  I'm talking about the mail.msn.com web page, and how it automatically logs into web messenger on the _web_ site.

And that's what was discussed.

Yeah, but installing the new MSN client, just so you can tell it to log out of the Web MSN, isn't really gonna help.  As soon as you log back into the web mail, it will sign into web MSN again.  I want to stop that, permanently from happening.  I’d like to be able to check my email like normal, over the web mail interface, on any computer, without it logging into Web Messenger at all.

Have you tried actively logging OUT of the web messenger when it logs you in?

There is no log out option on this web messenger, it's on, that's it, there is no option to change status or log out, let alone disable it.  The only options it gives are "Add friends, View all contacts and Manage categories".

Somehow I beg to differ...

My layout doesn't look the same as yours.  I just checked and I do have the upper right option about status, however all I can do there is log out, after it logs in.  No options to set it so it doesn't log into web messenger next time you log into web mail.

Yeah, I checked it out, I can manually log out once it logs in.  But when I open web mail again in a new browser or on another computer, it logs back into web messenger automatically.  There really needs to be an option just to simply turn it off, I mean really, not everyone wants messenger open if they're on a public computer just checking their email.
