dont use YM so cant tell u the exact path, but check out the preferences tab

the option u must look for will probably read run Yahoo messenger on start up

uncheck it

Login to Yahoo Messenger and disable the startup option from YM preferences. If multiple users are using YM on your machine, it is possible that every user might have to disabled Startup from YM preferences.

Using any other tool which block adding/removing startup entries?Like spybot search and destroy, or any other security tool. This may be the culprit.
