Vista - Live Mail start up when computer starts up

How can i make Windows Live Mail NOT start up when the computer starts up? i
personally do not use the program, but my grandpa does and he has asked me to
make it so it doesnt start up when he boots up his computer. I have looked
through the 'options' found in 'tools' up on the menu bar, but was unable to
find anything that talked about start up when the machine boots up. I have
searched the Help on the Live Mail as well as here and it seems that no where
does it talk about this. I really cant believe that this program HAS to start
up when the computer starts up, because that seems very unlike Windows to me.
Hopefully there is something that i am missing. If you know how to make this
work, please share this with me.

WLM doesn't load automatically on computer boot-up on any of my installations on XP or Vista.

Check the startmenu/startup folder.

Is you grandpa loading WLMsgr at startup too ?

There are three possible ways (afaik) any program can be set to startup,
check all three to remove it from the startup.

1. Start button\Run\type; "msconfig" (unquoted) and hit Enter\Startup tab\if
a Live Mail process is present uncheck it to remove it from the startup

2. Start button\All Programs\Startup delete the shortcut if present there,
or delete it from C:\Document and Settings\user_account\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

3. Start button\Run\type "regedit" (unquoted) and hit Enter\browse to the
Run key in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, and delete
the Live Mail value if it's present in the Run key
