Disabling Messenger and "Today"

Have no use for Messenger or Today. How do i disable them on MSN Startup?
Have unchecked boxes on Tools/Options, and still am getting both popups.

Go Start, Run type "msconfig" go to the startup tab find msn and unclic
the check box and msn will be disabled

Don't want to disable MSN entirely, just Messenger and Today. Will this
suggestion do that?

Open Windows Live Messenger and sign in. Press the Alt key on your keyboard.
Click Tools/Options on the Windows Live Messenger. Go to the Sign-in tab. You
can uncheck the automatically sign in and automatically start WLM options as
well as the Display Today option.
If you are running MSN Explorer, you cannot stop Windows Live Messenger from
also signing you in, but you can change it to show you as Invisible, Away, or
Busy if desired and to not pop up in your face.

Hi,

Just to add for searchable reference, you cannot use msconfig to disable Messenger starting
at startup.

The best way is to just uncheck the option in Messenger itself.
