If you mean how can you stop it from starting up, you can stop this by going Start->Run and type msconfig\nThen you click on the start-up tab.\nFinally you deselect MSN Messenger.\n\nThere is also a setting in the options section of this, but the other way will keep it from starting every time you start your computer.\n\nGood luck!

Hi,\n\nI presume you are talking about the dialog box that will keep popping up everytime you receive a message.\n\nStep 1: Go to Yahoo Messenger\nStep 2: Messenger -> Preferences\nStep 3: Alert & Sounds\nStep 4: Turn off the alert Sounds\nStep 5: Choose the "A messenger contact buzzes me"\nStep 6: Turn off the "Bringing the message window to the foreground"\nStep 7: Apply\nStep 8: OK\n\nrestart your Yahoo Messenger, the next time you should not encounter the popping up :)\n\ndboy\nMy Blog: http://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com

2 ways, either let the msger start up, then goto messenger, preferences, and untick automatically start Yahoo Messenger\n\nor, if that doesn't work, Start-Run type or copy and paste msconfig, goto start up, and uncheck the Y!msger from there, hope that helps\n\nR3dm0

Removing MSN Messenger in Win XP\n\nThere are some programs we just don't want, specially when Microsoft force them upon us, one such as the damn Messenger program that sticks to the system try, waiting to catch unwanted calls and virus.\n\nThat's right: MSN Messenger got it's own load of virus. There are ways to remove them, but better still is to delete the whole problem, Messenger itself.\n\nMicrosoft has made it as hard as possible to remove it from your system. Both MSN Messenger and MSN Explorer not only take up space on the system, but Messenger also runs in the background at startup, stealing precious RAM and resources.\n\nMessenger does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.  In order for it to show up there, you must first edit the file named sysoc.inf.  This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder (or in some cases the winnt folder, depending on how your OS was installed).  You can open that file in notepad.  Look for the following line:\nmsmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,\nmsmsgs.inf,hide,7\nand remove the word "hide" while leaving the commas on place. Close and save the file, and then open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, so that you can remove it like any other program.\n\nEven more Win XP to tweak

Either disable the firewall or antivirus before using the MSN Messenger or go to a public computer (internet cafe) to use it.

Click "Start" in the bottom left corner, Look for something called "Control Panel" and double-click it. Then from there, find something that says "Add/Remove Programs" or something along those lines...Look at the list, find the Messenger and remove it. If you neet a more technical answer, I can give you one. Lol.

That is associated with Microsoft Messenger. Since messenger is embedded in to your OS, courtesy of Microsoft you have to disable it from auto running. Here is what ya do:\n\nWhen the .net passport window pops up, hit cancel to bring you back to the main messenger window.\n\nIf hitting cancel does not open up messenger you will need to locate the program and do the following steps.. You can find messenger either in the bottom right corner of your task bar, or in the C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Messenger directory and double click on the msmsgs(.exe) icon.\n\nOnce you have the messenger program open go to Tools > Options. This will open up a dialogue box with all of your messenger options.\n\nProvided you do not want to use messenger, click on the “Preferences” tab at the top of the dialogue box and uncheck the following boxes:\n\n“Run Windows Messenger when Windows Starts”\n\n“Allow Messenger to run in the background”\n\nUn checking those two option will essentially “Turn off” messenger and it will not auto load each time you start your computer.\n\nClick the “ok” button\n\nClose the messenger window and that should do it. I would also check your start up to make sure it is not running in there as well. You can check that by doing the following:\n\nClick on the “Start” button from your task bar go to Programs > Start Up. If you see anything associated with the messenger program in there right click on it and choose delete.\n\nRestart your computer and viola, no more bothersome .net passport screen.
