Default MSN sign in

This sign-in screen will not go away. It pops up about
every two minutes no matter what I try - cancel, disable
in msconfig, etc.. How can I disable this so it just
comes up from the start menu or a shortcut?

Thanx!

Right click it's icon in the tray (next to your clock) and select "Exit".

If you do not have it in the tray, open the program via the method you
usually use, and disable it in the program's settings/options

That's the problem. The only settings in the program
are "automatic sign-in" which deals with signing into MSN
if you already have mesenger running (or vica versa).
There's nothing in there about auto running the program.
There's no icon in the systray, nothing in the startup
folder and the quick launch icon was of no help. Anybody
know where to shut this thing down?

Thanx!

Something must be trying to access the internet.
If you don't want to auto sign-in:
Open MSN , go to Help & Settings menu, Internet Options, Automatic =
Sign-in, and uncheck "I would like to sign in automatically to MSN".
