Stop MSN Messenger from loading automatically

Microsoft makes some really smart software, but sometimes it can be too smart for its own good. One example of this would be the MSN Messenger. Not everyone uses MSN Messenger, but Microsoft has it load by default when you start your computer. This slows down your start-up time and needlessly uses up memory on your PC. The controls for disabling MSN Messenger are hidden, but fortunately it is rather easy to take care of once you know where to look.
