I'm trying to stop MSN Messenger (Windows Live Messenger) firing up on startup. I've tried disabling it and also deleting in CCleaners Tools/Start but it keeps re-appearing! Can something else be starting it?
I should mention also that I've also got Regcure and tried disabling there as well, but still no luck!
Thanks for any help

Ok I'm going to go out on a limb here 
but why not just turn off the feature in the Messenger Options, or if you don't use messenger remove it from the computer (Add/Remove Software/Windows Features)

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Thanks Nergal. I don't want to get rid of it - just not fire it up when I start up and I want to know why CCleaner is not doing this
If you leave the 'Start on startup' feature enabled in MSN Live, obviously it will resurface again.
