How does my XP Home PC keep turning the MSNMessenger box ON in the startup menu at msconfig? I keep turning it off, and it keeps reappearing, along with a message that I changed my configuration? Anyone?

Oops! I might be wrong about this-

The first thing to understand is that the Windows Messenger Service is completely different from, and not in any way related to, "MSN Messenger", "Windows Messenger", or any other well-known instant messaging system. Therefore, disabling the Windows Messenger service will have no effect upon your use of any other instant messaging applications. They will continue to work without trouble.

Sorry if I caused you any grief.
