Slick,
If everyone in your household is going to use the same windows account (bad
idea) then you need to change msn messenger option as described by Ron.
However a much better way is to configure different accounts for everyone
and let the auto start applications run at windows logon. For example, I
have three accounts, one for me (with full Administrator rights), wife (as
normal non admin user) and children (restricted user). The convinient for
this setup is that I can allow many applications including msn messenger to
autorun/logon when i logon to my windows account. Wife account is configured
with her selected auto start applications and other settings. Children
account has no auto start applications.
(Actually the preferred setup is to use a non-admin account for my use well
but that is too much hassle.)
