You aren't confused, though apparently that is sarcastic?
Windows 7 automatically logs into Messenger if you follow the default behaviour and associate your hotmail account.
- dpark 14y agoI wasn't being sarcastic. I was legitimately asking what the scenario is that would have you logging into Messenger on a regular basis while never using it. I'm still not clear what scenario has you logging into Messenger automatically on Windows 7. Were/are you running the Messenger client? I'm not aware of any Win7 SKU that shipped with Messenger. That's part of Windows [Live] Essentials. Maybe some OEMs shipped with this preinstalled? I don't recall Windows 7 by itself ever asking me to provide it with my LiveId/Microsoft Account.
- jimbobimbo 14y agoIt's Windows 8 that does it. Windows 7 and earlier require Windows Essentials to be installed.
