yahoo messenger autostart suppress

Hi everyone,
I do understand, that this group is genererally dealing with the MSN messenger, but I simply could not find any other newsgroup dealing with messenging applications, so I try my luck here.
The short story: how can I suppress the autostart of the yahoo! messenger (ypager)? I use that app very infrequently, and want to start it when I need it. Furthermore I do not want all other users of my computer get that app autostarted when they log in. Though I disabled the yahoo messenger - properties - "autostart yahoo messenger" setting (actual text probably differs, my messenger is German), the yahoo messenger is autostarted upon login, forces me to log in and then lurks in my system tray as a yellow "smiley" icon.
I already searched the registry up and down, manually and using autostart control apps, cheched the autostart folders, searched any .ini I could think of, but could not find where they hook the messenger into my system.
The hook seems to be machine-wide, since once installed it affects all users that do log in, even those who had their profiles built before the messenger was installed.
Any hints are welcome, either on how to set the yahoo messenger so it does *not* autostart, or how to find and remove the hook that starts the ypager.
Thanx
Armin .
