If you are a frequent user this may be ideal; however, if you only occasionally chat you may want to only access Messenger when you’re ready to talk. Thus this automatic start-up can be disabled:

1. From a Windows Live Messenger window, click the “Show Menu” button, selecting “Tools” – “Options”. Or, if you are at the sign-in screen and no “Show Menu” button appears, press, Alt, T, then O.
Accessing Windows Live Messenger options
2. When the “Options” dialog box appears, click “Sign In” in the left pane.
3. In the right pane, underneath “General”, un-check “Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows”.
Preventing Windows Live Messenger from running every time you log on to Windows
4. Click “OK” to close the dialog box.
