Eric B: How do I stop myspace IM from loading at the restart of my computer? Its not to be found in the start up file?
Since I installed myspace.com Instant Messanger now everytime I start my computer it loads at start up, which slows my computer from starting up… I want to open manually… Anyone know how to change the setting? I looked in the folder for startup and it not listed.

My guess is go into the Instant Messenger preferences and uncheck a box that might say something like “automatically open at start up”. For instance in the Yahoo IM, it is under “preferences” then “general”. Sounds like the automatic start up is within the messenger preferences not the computer start up preferences.

Click start then run & type in MSCONFIG then you’ll see a bootup list which will have this & most spyware currently running on you’re machine. If you have more than 20~30 items booting up then you MOST DIFINITELY have a spyware problem also. As you become more tech savy you will learn to avoid items included in “free screensavers” & “free dowloads”. Hope this helps.
