RE: Getting rid of Windows Messenger!! HELP
Okay here we go....
I also have this problem... :(
I installed StuffPlug-NG, and I choose to install some the other plugins that was there, but since then windows messenger keeps starting with my pc... It was okay if it was just in the background, running a process, but it also signs-in and that's really pissing me off!!! :@...
So I found CookieRevised's reply......... And I did everything* it said... but it still keeps signing in, when I turn on my computer....

I thought about it might be SS3 (screenshot sender 3), would it help if I uninstalled that?....
But I am very confussed why it runs?... I've disabled msgplus "Run on startup", and then I use applauncher whenever I want to use my msn... But if msgplus is not running, then SS3 is not running, then there would be no need for windows messenger to run????? Am i right?....
I've searched through regedit, but I can't seem to find anything that leads to windows messenger running on startup....
Please help me... And as said before I have done what cookie said in the post....

Because I don't have any of those installed... Or at least I didn't install them with windows, and nether with office....
But there seems to be traces of Outlook Express, but I can't run it, it says: "Outlook Express could not be started. The application was inable to oen Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full.".... But I know my disk/memory is not full....
After that messages it says: "Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express may not be installed corretly"
No of course it's not installed correctly, I chose not to install it because I don't use it.....
So therefor those 2 steps cannot be done....

What else should I try????
