How to hide Windows Live Messenger

I use Win XP on a new netbook computer. Windows Live Messenger Sign In
dialog box always appears when I start the computer. I don't want to
uninstall WLM (my wife may use it occasionally when we are travelling),
but I want to remove it from the start-up process. How do I do this,
please?

Uncheck 'Automatically run Windows Live Messenger....'

Thanks, Michael, that's fixed it. I'd been trying to do it from outside
WLM and never thought to open it up. Duh!!
