msn 6.2 and msconfig

andretfernandes · 12-28-2004, 01:57 AM

Hi,

I DON'T want that my MSN starts when my windows XP starts.

So I did the obvious: runned "msconfig", and in the options at "initialize" I unchecked the box beside MSN.

The problem is that many times that I start my computer, the MSN starts as if I've never made the steps above.

What is happenning and how can I solve it?

thanks!!

go into msn messenger...go to the options and on the general tab uncheck the box for the start when windows starts.... then also dissable msmsgs as well as the the messenger then restart as soon as u do that so it stays

if what pcl0adletterwtf told u doesnt work just do what im doing and its working like a charm

go to: C:\Program Files\Messenger and change the suffix of the messanfer exe to tmp (i.e messanger.exe -> messanger.exe.tmp) so when win will look for messanger.exe he wont find it and problem solved

cheers
