It looks like most of these folks don't use Yahoo Messenger that much.\nOne of them had it right, but didn't elaborate.\nIf you go to the Menubar and click on the Messenger link and select Preferences.\nA dialog box will appear and the top category GENERAL has the option of whether or not to have yahoo load when you start Windows.\nJust click on the check to remove and thus disable that feature

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

On Yahoo Messenger: Click Messenger Menu -> Click Preferences. Go to General section of the Preferences Window and uncheck the Box saying When I start My Computer, Automatically start Yahoo Messenger!.\n\nFor AOL, go into General preferences in AIM and uncheck (disable) the Start AIM when Windows starts option.\n\nThis should do the trick.\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

Click on "Messenger" at the top.\n\nClick "Connection Preferences"\n\nClick on "Alerts & Sounds"\n\nAnd in there it can be turned off.\n\nOr another way is just to turn off your speakers.
