Hi, I am a new user of this. What I would like to know is how I can prevent
it from maximising every time I start up my laptop. I would prefer it to
remain minimised in my system tray ready for me to click on only when I need
it. Many thanks for any suggestions.

In Messenger, open up Tools > Alternatives > General settings. Set Messenger
to open when Windows boots, but don't open the main window. This will only
work if you allow Messenger to start with Windows.

There are separate newsgroups set up for the Windows Live products. This is
Messenger's:
