on your machine using Add/Remove Programs

YM is no longer is listed in Add/Remove Programs

I don't know anything specific about Yahoo Messenger, but..
You might be able to find out where it is getting launched by using a
utility such as:
MSCONFIG.EXE (look in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries)
- or -
AUTORUNS from SysInternals:
