How can I stop MSN Messenger from starting up when using Hotmail?

Greetings Stuart,

Unfortunately you can't, this functionality is built-into Internet Explorer and Messenger.

Thanks for the info....I just went and uninstalled MSN Messenger since I
usually use the Messenger that came with XP. I don't like app's starting on
thier own...found if you uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs ya still
gotta delete some files and folder that uninstall leaves behind and also
some reg keys in the registry!

Hi Stuart,

This is true -- it does leave things behind (in case you reinstall it).
