Why is Yahoo messenger still on my start up screen?

On one of my computers at work, I uninstalled Yahoo Messenger and all of its components. However, when I start the computer, the messenger sign on screen still comes up. I've tried numerous things to get if off but it still comes up. It doesn't really bother anything on the computer, but its annoying. Can anyone help me? I took it off this computer so the employee wouldn't be able to use it at work. Thanks!

    Do: Start -> Run…
    Type "msconfig" and hit Enter/OK
    A window will pop up.
    Click the "startup" tab at the top.
    Find Yahoo Messenger and uncheck it.

    This won't remove Yahoo Messenger from the hard drive, and won't technically uninstall it completely, but it should keep it from starting up when booting up.

    Hope this helps!
