I formated my XP(Pro) and was trying to reinstall the same. It was easy and once i finished installing i tried the other settings. Installed the drivers and configured the Outlook.. Oops.. the windows messenger comes in .. damn I don't use this.. but its not going until i close the OE ( outlook express). I tried to eliminate this issue (Yeah by searching the net) and got a solution for the same.
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Check for a value name called Hide Messenger (data type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) ) Change the value to 2. If that particular DWORD is not there, add the same.
Exit your registry, restart the OE.
But I would prefer this messenger to be uninstalled. :)
That drove me crazy, I dod not need windows messenger to run outlook but as soon as I got messenger I could not close it fully.. Thanks this messenger feature drove me insane.

No fan of Messenger here, either.
I can't remember what I did to disable it, but I don't think it was tweak the registry.

I cannot stand messenger these days, it's got too much going on and it's too hard to stop from running.
I tried to remove it but could not. Really anoying..
I have tried everything to disable the messanger but isn't working :-(
Wonder if this can cause any problems with windows ? I would like to disable but I worry about errors this may cause.
