In MSN Messenger 6, go to Tools then Options.
Then click on the general tab, uncheck Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Windows.
You may also want to uncheck Allow Automatic sign in when connected to the Internet.
Hope this helps!

     I just recently installed windows xp onto my computer,
     now I notice that when I log onto my computer my instant
     messenger automatically logs on and starts up. How do I
     make it so that the computer does not automatically log
     me onto messenger. I don't want everyone who uses the
     computer at home to have access to my instant messenger.
     I need to know that when I log off it is off and that no-
     one else can use it but me using my password. Please
     help. This is going to drive me crazy.
     Thank you
