When I connect to the net messenger automaticaly connects It doesn't start up with Win , I've got that disabled and in MSCONFIG it's not checked to start. Went to options and disabled everything (used XP ati-spy also) and still does it. It's not running in taskbar so the only way I know it's running is because TaskMan shows it's running & when I click messenger to start it's already signed in...

Never had this happen & must be something easy I'm overlooking but I'm out of places to look aside from digging through the REG

Thanks for your time
