so the title sums this up. when i start the computer, the first thing to pop up after windows loads is a Yahoo Messenger Sign In screen. Yahoo messenger is not an option under add/remove programs, nor is there a start menu group or icon for it.

is there something i can paste into start -> run, or a registry fix i need to do to get rid of this? any help would be much appreciated - i want rid of this program!!!

thanks

Hi there,

Are you sure you can't find a yahoo product in the add/remove programs?

If you still can't find it, install Yahoo Messenger from Yahoo.com. This will overwrite the version you have now and hopefully allow you to uninstall it.

thanks, reinstalling and uninstalling seems to have worked... it definately wasnt showing up in add/remove programs. i think the guy whos machine it is has been deleting folders, etc to uninstall rather than add/remove programs
