Do not run Windows Live at startup.....

Hello:

I am running 8.5.1302.1018 which always comes on a boot up and I don't want
it to come on unless I start it manually. I can't find a toggle off. Is
there a way other than config?

Thank you.

Greetings Jim,

It's there. Just open up any Messenger window, press the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up
the menu bar, then choose Tools, then Options, then the Sign In category. Finally uncheck
the "Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows" and click OK.
