You didn't say what version of windoze your running,but if it's XP. Go into add-remove programs but don't open it. On the left you will see a 'add remove windows components' option. Click that,then scroll down and take the check out of 'MSNexplorer' and 'Windows messenger'. Click on next and they will be removed. Another bit that may not be necessary,but I do anyway? Go into 'Program Files' folder and find the 'Messenger' folder rename it. I choose 'Messgrrr',but choose your own. You will get a warning message,but just ok out and reboot...
