RE: MSN Messenger starts twice
Ok first off let me clarify something for you.

msmsgs: Windows Messenger (preinstalled with all versions of Windows XP)
msnmsgr: MSN Messenger
MsgPlus,exe: Obviously Messenger Plus!
msnshell: Crappy addon for MSN Messenger (imho)

Now the two Messenger Plus!s are normal. The one with /WinStart is forcing MSN Messenger to open after Plus! has loaded successfully.

If you open Windows Messenger you can click on Tools > Options > Preferences > Uncheck Run this program when Windows starts. and also if you don't plan to use it uncheck Allow this program to run in the background and it shouldn't sign you in twice.

As for msnshell, I personally think it should be uninstalled as it MAY be the cause for having to use Windows Messenger, and I say MAY because I haven't installed it or used it much so.
