Windows 7 and MSN Live messenger remove from startup?

For some odd reason Windows Live Messenger, just a few days ago, started loading itself when I boot. How do I remove it from the list of programs to be loaded at boot up?

I've searched and can't seem to find a "start", "startup" or "start menu" folder anywhere.

Update:

Thank you. It took no time at all following your instructions.

Still puzzled over why it suddenly changed over to starting at startup when I've had machine for a couple of years and it had never done it before.

    Type in "msconfig" in the search bar of the start menu

    You'll see a tab called "Startup" in the window that pops up. It's there.
