windows live messenger

[Terry]

I have recently acquired a laptop running windows 7 and consequently am
using live mail. However, recently whenever I boot up, windows messenger log
in screen pops up and I don't know how to stop this. I have no intention of
using live messenger and it is aggravating to keep having to close this
window every time I boot up. Any suggestion?

with thanks

You can uninstall Windows Live Messenger - in Control Panel/Programs, select
Windows Live Essentials and uncheck the programs you wish to remove.
Alternatively, open Messenger, sign in with your LiveID AND go to
Toools/Options/Sign-in and uncheck the options to run at windows Start.

For you info, you posted to a dead newsgroup that has nothing to do with
Messenger or Mail.
