• How can I stop Windows Messenger from starting automatically

  I have never used Windows Messenger.  I recently bought / implement a system refurbished with XP Home - after about a month of use, the Herald began popping up automatically whenever I start the machine, or when I open Outlook Express (and immediately requires a screen name access code (whenever it starts, even if I gave him once to satisfy) (, so I have two things to cancel).

  As I say, he began to do this by himself without conscious action on my part, a few weeks after the introduction of the machine. I had an older XP machine for 6 years and never seen it happen.

  Two questions: 1) is this a normal behavior to require a name to screen EACH time it starts? I would have thought that it would save one associated with the connection.

  (2) how can I do to stop the automatic aperture? I don't necessarily want to kill-I can actually try to use it someday. I just that it quietly hide in the system tray, as it has always done before.

  To stop the Messenger to start with Windows:

  (1) right-click on the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray.
  2) click Open.
  (3) in Windows Messenger, click on tools, then click Options.
  4) click the Preferences tab.
  (5) in the preferences, uncheck the "run Windows Messenger when Windows starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background", and then click Ok.

  To prevent Outlook Express from loading Messenger

  (1) open Outlook Express
  2) click Tools, Options
  3) click on general tab
  (4) uncheck the box to automatically log on to Windows Messenger
  5) click OK Microsoft Security MVP, 2004-2009

• How can I stop MSN Messenger running at startup in Windows 7?

  The options listed for XP or Vista don't work or are not available in Windows 7. I prefer not to uninstall it completely, but if it's the only option, I'll have to. Any suggestions?

  Hello richy1995,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  You can try the Windows Installer Cleanup tool. It helps with programs that are installed by using an .msi package.
  It does not uninstall the program and will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on. Click here to download the utility.

  Then, use the instructions below to uninstall MSN Messenger.

  • Go to the Control Panel
  • Click on Add/Remove Programs
  • Scroll down to find and then click MSN Messenger
  • Click Remove

  Follow the prompts that results, and MSN Messenger are uninstalled.

  If you talk about Live Messenger,
  Go to add/remove programs
  Click Windows Live Essentials
  Click Change/Remove
  You will get an option to uninstall part of windows live essentials, which includes messenger 2009.

  Hope these instructions for your question.

  Sincerely,

• How can I stop Windows Live Messenger issuing alerts every minutes, hours and days of the year? I don't use it.

  I do not use Windows Live Messenger, but he insists on the display of alerts telling me to connect. Why it does this and how can I stop without causing problems in other areas? I know nothing about it except that the people who try to contact me (I guess) can do it without going through channels such as email or telephone.

  I assume you have Windows Live Messenger, because you have installed the Windows Live Essentials.
  If so, a brief explanation...
  Windows Live Essentials includes some programs that can be installed or NOT, must be installed. You can choose whoever you want.

  Now, you have 2 options...

  1. you can disable. He will remain in the system but inactive.

  2. you can purely and simply uninstall it, and it will be out of the system.

  RE: Disable Messenger
  Open MSN Messenger > at the top, click on tools > click Options > column to the left, click on Sign In > straight column, uncheck all boxes > click OK done wnhen.

  RE: Uninstall Messenger

  Start button > in the search box, type programs and features > press the Enter key. Scroll down to Windows Live Essentials > right click it > click on uninstall...
  Follow the guests but be careful to screen > it will ask you what program to uninstall. Select Windows Live Messenger. Follow the prompts.

• How can I stop Windows Live Messenger open at startup?

  Windows Live Messenger opens whenever I start my laptop, and it does not to her PIN on the bar of.
  Short of uninstalling this program (if that is even possible), how can I stop to open at startup and it detach all the time in the taskbar?  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  I can help you to stop Live Messenger from running at startup but don't know why it won't let you it detach from the task bar. It should leave you with the right button and choose "unpin this program from the taskbar".
  On the login screen when messenger starts first, click Help on the right with the (?) and in the menu on the button, put a check mark next to "show the menu bar.
  OK - now you can access the menus at the top of the window. Go to tools-> Options.
  In the window that appears, click "sign in" on the list on the left and uncheck the box to the top right ("automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on Windows ')
  Next time you reboot, Live Messenger doesn't have to load at startup.
  It may be useful to uninstall and download again to see if there is a updated version that works better.
  Hope this will help

• How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?

  How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?  I use mac os x El Capitan 10.11.3 & iTunes 12.3.2.35.

  It takes your iPod nano 5th generation.  If so, this happens because he has a camera.  After Photos opens when you connect iPod, near the top of the window, is there a checkbox to Open the Photos for this device (or words to that effect)?  If you see this checkbox, uncheck.  Photos should be open when the iPod is connected.

  Hello Buster Funch,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  First of all, you can try to check what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer.

  To determine the version of Internet Explorer, click on about Internet Explorer on the Help menu or press Alt + H and then press A.

  If you are repeatedly prompted to download and install the Windows Internet Explorer update, I suggest that you try to check if Internet Explorer is installed correctly. See this article for more information on this:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-should-I-do-if-Internet-Explorer-8-doesn ' t-install properly

  You can try to reset the Internet Explorer security settings by running the Fix - it suggested in the article.

  If nothing works, then try to uninstall Internet Explorer and try to install it once more. Here is an article that will give you steps how to uninstall Internet Explorer 8:
