Hi, I am a new user of this. What I would like to know is how I can
prevent it from maximising every time I start up my laptop. I would
prefer it to remain minimised in my system tray ready for me to click
on only when I need it. Many thanks for any suggestions.

In Messenger, open up Tools > Alternatives > General settings. Set Messenger to open when Windows boots, but don't open the main window. This will only work if you allow Messenger to start with Windows.

There are separate newsgroups set up for the Windows Live products. This is Messenger's:
