Hello.
I was happy with Windows Live messenger until i upgraded to 2009 version. I never have it auto run on startup, and before this version , when i opened hotmail my wlm icon would pop up and then quit in the taskbar when i closed hotmail .
Now however,  it doesnt, it stays there running and i have to go right click and quit it each time, i find this a real pain.
Is there a fix ? thanks.
By the way i fiddled with the settings but nothnig made any diference, did i miss something ?

To disable auto-run on startup. Tools>Option>Sign in>Untick "Automatically run windows live messenger when I log on to windows".

Are you talking about Windows Live Mail Tray Icon?

unless it has changed, when you open hotmail/msn, messenger would open in the background. there is an option/fix to disable this, can't remember where tho, will have a look later

Thank you 

Its not an auto start thing.  I dont have WLM set to startup.  Its when i open hotmail WLM appears in the tray  (which is ok) BUT  In the older WLM when i quit hotmail, the tray icon would go as well. In the 2009 version it stays there. !

hope i explained it a little better this time.

Hello again..

Any ideas yet ?

Thanks.

I don't know much about Windows Live Mail (Note: Not the online version, Hotmail), but if you run Mail, why would it also run Messenger?

The only thing I can think of is to look in the settings/options in Mail and disable Messenger running, or something similar.

I was wondering the same. I checked Mail's settings and found no linkage between windows live mail and running messenger.

Well  ....  14.0.8064.0206 doesnt fix the annoying "wont quit tray after reading hotmail problem"  But then, its microsft..what did i really expect.
