Hello, I recently bought my first laptop and have been enjoying its integrated wireless feature. However, it has the unfortunate habit of sometimes loading Windows Messenger before it connects to the wireless network. Is there anyway I can setup Messenger to be the very last background process that loads on startup to avoid this? Thank you in advance for any help.
