You can perform this by the following steps also:

1. Click Start
2. CLick RUn
3. Type msconfig and press enter
4. Select the startup tab
5. From the list select the program u want to remove
6. Apply and restart

MSN Messenger or just messenger? If it's msn then goto add/remove in control
pannel if it's just messenger then click start run and type RunDll32
advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

If you have Norton Antivirus 2003 it might be useful to uncheck the scanning
of MSN messages under options-> Norton Antivirus-> messages.
