  Once you are logged into the messenger click the small arrow near your name on the top right corner of the messenger window and click more options.
  A window will pop up with the heading options.
  There on the left pane of the window select the option sign in.
  There in the right pane under the general section uncheck the option that states " start Messenger when i log on to my computer" Then click on apply and o.k.
  The next time you start up the messenger will not start. No need to fiddle with msconfig.
