Re: Stopping Auto-connect



Greetings Matt,

What version of Messenger are you using? If you're using Windows Live Messenger, it should
automatically reconnect you with the correct status after coming out of sleep (the old
Windows Messenger does not).

I don't mean launching when Windows starts up, I mean how do I stop it from
automatically connecting me in when my computer comes out of sleep mode
and/or I launch it... I generally keep it at "appear Offline", but any time I
wake my computer back up it automatically connects and puts me back in as
"Online", and I'd just like it to mind it's own freaking business, and not
connect until I actually do something to tell it too.
