It keeps signing me in when I connect to the internet but it hides in the background (no taskbar icon). The only reason I knew it was signed in is when people start chatting to me. I uninstalled it (using the Windows add/remove components) but that just removed it from the start menu without uninstalling it.

I've done a search for msnmsgs and deleted everything that came up. There were a few files but no .exe file. It is definately called msnmsgs.exe cauz that's what it is in the running processeses in Task Manager.

I opened Windows Messenger, unticked remember password and it STILL signs me in everytime I connect to the Internet.

I think it has something to do with entering my MSN passport for the default passport on Windows XP.
How do I un-do that?

This is driving me crazy!

remove it from the registry. if it was on while you uninstalled it, there is a good chance you didn't. hit "Ctrl"+"Shift"+"Esc" and "end task" msn messengr. then you should be able to remove it.

the easy way to just stop it is to do it from the regitry tho.

Click [Start] [Run] and in the [Open:] box type or copy/paste the following command
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Click [OK]

WOW I only have a few years of pain to look forward to, then I'll be fine. None of that for me, I'll be playing pool by the weekend. And luckily it wasn't my Drinking arm.

*whew* Ya had me worried, there. Was wondering how you would accomplish double-fisted-drinking if you only had one drinking arm.

Much better now, though.
