| Guest | Delay Startup Sometimes in the sequence of startup, Messenger tries to start before there is an established internet connection. This does not occur all the time, but enough that I forget to look and sign-on. Is there a way to delay Messenger startup so that autologon will work? Thanks, Don |

| Guest | Re: Delay Startup Greetings Don, You can't directly with Messenger, but you can with some third party help. For example: http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?pa...how=startdelay should do the trick. Just install, run, choose Msnmsgr in the list of startup applications and then choose the Edit button in the toolbar. Set the delay to whatever you want and then hit Save. Finally choose the Actions menu, then Activate Startup Delayer, and then choose Use the Hidden Version. Then you can just close Startup Delayer and that should do it. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "JustUs" <JustUs@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C2F76A98-7129-4047-A3DD-CF444A2654B7@xxxxxx Quote: > Sometimes in the sequence of startup, Messenger tries to start before there > is an established internet connection.

| Guest | Re: Delay Startup Hi, Oh, one other thing. Once everything is setup, open up any Messenger window, press the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, then Options, then Sign In (or General, in a previous version) category, then uncheck the 'Automatically run Windows Live Messenger with Windows', and click OK. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#$jBFUi8JHA.4176@xxxxxx Quote: > Greetings Don, > > You can't directly with Messenger, but you can with some third party help.
