Stop MSN loading?

How can I stop messenger loading at Startup after I've used it? If I open
Messenger to talk to someone it always opens again when I start up my PC I
have to go into Startup Programs with CCleaner and stop it. I can't find a
tickbox in Options to stop this happening. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Answered in the MSN.Discussion group:
Open Windows Live Messenger after you are signed in.
Click Tools/Options.
Click on the Sign In item on the left side to bring up that tab.
Uncheck the 1st and 3rd option - Automatically run..., Allow automatic
signin...
And any other options you wish to disable.

Hi,

Just to add, to get that Tools menu to appear, just hit the Alt key on the keyboard to bring
up the menu bar (in case you're scratching your head wondering where it is).
