MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger has a quite annoying feature to me, which is having a popup of Windows Live Today/MSN Today every single time you sign into your account. That might be useful to some, but in my case, I am not using Hotmail, thus making the pop-up not useful at all.

To disable Windows Live Today, simply follow the instructions below:

  1. Click on Tools, select Options
  2. Click on the General tab
  3. Uncheck the Show Windows Live Today after I sign in to Messenger box

Uncheck the “Show Windows Live Today after I sign in to Messenger" box

Voila, the next time you sign into your Windows Live Messenger, the popup will not appear anymore and all you see is just your contact list.
