    please post a snip of your msconfig startup tab. expand the command bar for a full view also expand the location bar (which shows the location of registry)

    You could add the program to the Run section of the registry.

    For all users:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Messenger"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\""
    For individual users:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "Messenger"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\""
