I am using Yahoo Messenger version 9 on Windows Xp home and disabled auto starting during bootup using msconfig(unchecked the program to stop starting up). But I still find the ymgr_tray.exe process running everytime during bootup. How do I stop it from auto starting during boot? This happens with realplay.exe as well !!

Even if you remove the Yahoo Messenger program from the msconfig start up list, it rewrites itself into the startup list again. There’s a way to get rid of this. Here’s how:

  • Start Yahoo Messenger
  • Sign in with your Yahoo ID In the menu bar
  • Click Messenger and then go to Preferences
  • In the window that appears, uncheck ‘Automatically startup Yahoo Messenger’
  • Press ‘Apply’, ‘OK’
