Disabling Windows messenger logging in?
 

I use to use a piece of code to disable Windows messenger from logging in on boot. The code was typed into the Start -> Run... box which then sinks the ickle app like a leaking sub... :D

Anyone know the code?

but that uninstalls windows messenger...

if u just want to disable it go into user settings, then "manage network passwords" and delete passport.net/* . that will stop it logging in without uninstalling it, if you actually want to keep it on your system :erm:

Even simpler in messenger go to tools and preferences (or something like it) on one of the tabs is an option to stop it loading on windows startup.
