Just go into the messenger options and uncheck Load at startup and run in background options

actually you can install it, if you edit the sysoc.inf file and remove all the the "hide" 's then you can remove it and MSN Explorer

No such file found on my HD.
I simply cannot stand programs that run on my computer without my prior approval. Tray memory hogging programs are the work of the DEVIL.

Very interesting. Despite the fact I've told Windows explorer to show all hidden files, a search on my C:\ drive still did not bring that file up.
I found it in C:\windows\inf and I removed the HIDE's
Thanks
