Thanks very much Debbie. I did bring up the application itself and, as
suggested by another person on this list, in options, there a check box that
allows one to specify whether or not Windows Messenger is to come up at
startup. I wasn't confident that it would work but it did. In any event,
thanks for responding to my request.
All the best,
Jerry
Jerry, if you are interested in completely removing windows messenger, this
won't do it, but I thought I would go ahead and mention that playful heart
did use the OE Tweaker program and it did stop messenger from starting with
OE.
You can download it from:
www.jfwlite.com/QWOeTweakerInstall101.exe
Install it and then run it from your programs menu. It will be under
Quantum Whale
Oe Tweaker. On the general tab, check the box for hide messenger. Enter on
okay and exit the program.
Exit OE, exit windows messenger and then try to start OE again and windows
messenger should not start.
Debbie

Hello Vicki.
What is the name of the little magic tool that you found? Where might I obtain a copy?

I had this problem on both my laptop and desktop after I reformatted them. it was always running in my processes, and I could shut it off, but as soon as I rebooted, it began again. I didn't have this problem with MSN Messenger, so I finally did some research and found a little tool that completely uninstalled Windows Messenger. It worked great.

Good morning folks.
On my laptops, I continue to see Windows Messenger running, even though I have gone into MSConfig and unchecked the applications that launch it at startup. If anyone has a fix for this, I'd love to see that application disappear. I have no trouble getting rid of it with my desktops, my computers all running XP pro with Jaws 7x.
Thanks to anyone who has the key.
Jerry

Actually, this has happened to me twice on another computer I own. I could not for the life of me figure out why windows messenger was coming up with jaws. Once, jaws crashed, and I know for a fact windows messenger was shut down. When I restarted jaws, windows messenger was up and running. I've never seen it happen since those two times.

JAWS has nothing to do with the starting of Windows Messenger, period. Dorry to disagree, but that's reality.

I've changed the subject line to reflect the subject. There is no way
that
JAWS could be starting Windows Messenger when it starts. JAWS does not
control this in any way.
