O.P. Windows Live Messenger Auto-starts when windows starts
I've unchecked the box in preferences so that MSN Messenger DOESN'T open when Windows starts up.

But it does.

Every time!
On my desktop, as well as on others desktops as this is a shared computer.
The other main user does not use messenger at all and I am trying to disable the main window on boot.

on general tab under options its checked to "Open windows live messenger main window when Windows Live Messenger starts", which is fine. (thats greyed out also.)

Unchecked is the box to automatically run the program when I log on to windows.

I'm running Live Messenger 2008 (build 8.5. 1302. 1018)
Windows XP Pro
Is there a known issue with Messenger?
I posted I was having the same issue on an earlier post, but no one answered it. Can someone help with this?
