Thank you! It never popped up until recently when I would log in and I don't know why or what made it start because I have had this computer since Sept. and it didn't do that for the first month or so. It is extremely annoying! Again, Thank YOU!

I can't log in to windows live messenger because I don't have a password to type in. I don't want anything to do with the thing. I don't want ppl bugging me.

You have just answered a GOLDEN question! thank you so much for your directions.. I am really adamant about not creating a live id JUST to remove a program from starting and i was more than disappointed that Microsoft is becoming so persistent with its programs.

you'll need to change your screen resolution to allow the entire menu to show up. It'll screw with all your other programs, so change it back once you're done. To change the screen resolution, go to the same menu you use to change the desktop image, screen saver and crap. ^_^

thank you so much! I have tried for weeks to figure this out, you totally solved the mystery for me! Big E-HUG to you! ^_^

It seems like an easy solution but I'm using a Netbook and the screen where you change the optios is too big to let me get to, let alone see,the OK button. I can't move any farther to the top so all I can do is exit and it doesn't save it. I read a suggestion somewhere about disabling it from the Startup folder but it isn't in there. Any ideas? Thanks.

I didn't have the general tab either. I clicked options and then to the left clicked Sign In. From there you will see General at the top and below that is where you can uncheck the automatic sign in.

They have some good instructions but when you don't have some of the steps they say, then it seems impossible. Hope someone has a solution, just buggs me.

Trying to turn Windows Live Messenger OFF. Problem that I am having is that in the left pane there is no "General". Not having that, how do I accomplish turning it off.

You are so many kinds of awesome for finding that little hidden sucker.

By the by, if anyone's trying to /uninstall/ Live Messenger, and has installed the "Windows Live Essentials" thingy (which I had, having had it come down the pipe via a windows update), you have to Chane/Remove Windows Live Essentials. Windows Live Messenger will /not/ show up in the list.
