How to Set Up the Xbox to Stop Auto Logging Into MSN

Microsoft provides many of the same services across multiple platforms. Like PCs, your Xbox 360 comes loaded with Windows Live Messenger, formerly known as MSN Messenger, an instant messaging service. When initially setting up Messenger on your Xbox 360, you can set the program to automatically log you in every time you sign in to Xbox Live. This might have seemed convenient at first, but logging in to both services can become cumbersome. Disabling Messenger from automatically logging in will speed up your console's start-up time.
