hello, to really take control of messenger, after it signs you in, at least do, this once then sign out, then sign in but this time, uncheck the check box to remember password the curmudgeon les ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pickrell, Rebecca M." <rebecca.pickrell@xxxxxxx> To: "Blindtech (E-mail)" <blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "JFW list (E-mail)" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <helpneededlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 5:20 AM Subject: windows messenger and JFW 4.51 Hi folks. I am using Windows Messenger, and it is a bit too social for my taste. It starts itself and signs me into MSN whenever Windows starts. We have DSL so our connection is always on. I have unchecked the box that says "sign me in automatically" and have also unchecked the box that says "start windows messenger when windows starts". So how can I make this program stop starting? The thing that really annoys me is that I can't see that it's running and don't know that it is until someone im's me. I am using JFW 4.51 on a windows xp home machine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
