Thanks Patrick. May I also ask, how can I get Windows Messenger to be
restored to open up upon going thru the menu structure 'all programs'
'windows messenger'? Currently via going thru the above, it is opening up
a
window for 'my computer'.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. When you try to launch
Messenger, My Computer opens instead?

I have lost my windows messenger icon on the system tray & via going
through
'all programs', when clicking on windows messenger, I am directed to
'my
computer'. I want to uninstall or at least turn off windows messenger
from
signing on when I go online. My girlfriend was chatting on my computer
(I
have never chatted nor ever wanted to) & subsequently when I went
online,
her
IM address was signing in & I was being inundated with all her
messages.
She
tried to turn off her IM address from signing in when I go online &
left
me
with no icon & no means to get into the menu structure of windows
messenger,
except I am still getting all her messages. I just want to stop being
annoyed
by her IM address signing in & all the pop-ups appearing on my
computer
when
her friends are wanting to message with her.

Also, to get to Windows Messenger to turn its auto-connect options off,
go
to Start, Run, and type 'msmsgs' and press Enter.
