I have Windows 7 ultimate and whenever I run Internet Explorer Windows Live messenger automatically launches. How do I stop this from happening.

Nikhil's suggestion is worth to try. However, if the issue persists, you can also perform a Clean Boot to check the result. Thanks, Novak

Thankyou for your response, however it does not seem to work. Windows Live Messenger is still launching although now it only seems to launch when I go to a different webpage.

What do you mean by a 'Clean Boot'?

HI go to internet explorer, windows live toolbar tab, close it, while closing it opens new window about options and check mark all, disable it. check the issue, clean boot===> the link How to perform Clean Boot:1. Click Start, type MSCONFIG in the Search Bar and Press Enter to start the System Configuration Utility. Please click Continue if the "User Account Control" window pops up. 2. Click the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click Disable All (if it is not gray).3. Click the Startup tab, click Disable All and click OK.4. Restart the computer and test the issue. ==> Clean Boot is a troubleshooting step. If some programs have been disabled during the troubleshooting, we can enable them later. If there appears System Configuration Utility , check the box of "Don't show this message" and then click OK.Does it work?
