Hi Daniel,
Thanks for posting!
I understand that you do not want to use MSN Messenger. If I have
misunderstood your concerns, please feel free to let me know.
As Dave said, if you do not need to use MSN Messenger at all, you may
simply uninstall MSN Messenger in Control Pane. However, if you just do not
want to launch MSN Messenger at system startup. You may follow the method
below:
Open MSN Messenger
Tools | Options | General | Uncheck all options Under "Sign In"
I truly understand that the inconvenience you have encountered. However,
for questions concerning MSN, we have an independent MSN support team that
is working to meet all MSN-related service requests. If all of above
methods still cannot address your concerns, since this problem is related

with the issue. Thanks for your understanding!

| Hi,
|
| I have XP Home, and I keep unchecking "nsmmsg" in the startup section of
| msconfig. I don't use MSN Messenger, don't plan on it, and don't want it
| sitting there in my system tray. Yet Microsoft keeps turning it back on
on
| every reboot.
|
| Anyone have a solution to this?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Daniel
