why not make a loader? that would be awesome. one that loads msgplus, then msn, and when msn is terminated it terminates msgplus :)

I didn't say you said it was wrong :). I often change something in MSCONFIG and when I reboot I get that message too, but I only receive it once. There's nothing wrong with the alternative start up. In this start up you just choose what to start up at a boot and what not. Everything necessary for Windows will start up. In a normal start up everything is loaded (unless you delete the keys offcourse from the registry but most users don't know about that).

This sounds like something that could be useful to me, but I do not know how to make a loader like that. Any suggestions as to how I would go about that...

What's the problem with Plus! being in the start up folder? It's easy and doesn't use much space or memory at start up. If you would make a loader to terminate Plus! when MSN Messenger is being terminated the loader will be using memory too, so in that way you'll be using more memory than without the loader.

You got a point there. But not all loaders take memory :huh: ?

well you can do it using visual basic... but as kryptonate said, it will take memory.

RE: is it possible to remove plus from startup?
In the past there are loaders made by various people. People who programmed for the first time, people who had good experience. Also, different kind of loaders; loaders which simple startup msgplus and messenger and then quit. Or loaders which poll the memory to check on the status of messenger, etc... etc...

I've tested them all... all failed at one point or another (memory usage, polygamy, switching between winmsgr/msnmsgr, starting up with things like jnrzloader, etc.. etc...)

The best thing you can do IMO is to make a small VBS script which loads plus!, waits a few seconds (2 secs is more then enough) and then starts messenger (or jnrzloader for that matter), and that's it, after that it quits. Then you can startup Messenger and Plus! together with 1 click....
(the small vbs script can be found also somewhere on this forum)

Note: that all this isn't recommended by Patchou and it is on your own risk! Plus! is meant to be started up at bootup... ;)
