Hi Rebecca From your message I assume that you have the program set to remember your password. Have you tried unchecking this box? You will have to enter your password manually everytime you want to log in, but it will keep it from logging you in automatically. This is the only solution I have found.

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. > > Rebecca Pickrell > > -- > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
