Stop Windows Messenger from Auto-Starting
Jul 14th, 2007 by Vladimir Flemming
If for some reason you don’t want Windows Messenger to just auto-start you can simply deleted by “Add/Remove optional features of Windows XP. Or you can always remove it from the Registry:
Step 1:
Open the Registry (Start->Run->Regedit.exe)
Step 2:
Simply go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MSMSGS
Step3: Delete MSMSGS!
Step4:
Restart your Windows for the changes to take effect.
I think it sould not start automaticly because a lot of people i know don’t use it anyway…
