Can't Get Rid of Windows Messenger

[AbbN]

Hi,

I can't seem to get rid of this thing. I have XP Pro and Outlook 2003 as
wells as MSN Messenger 6.1. When I start my computer it's there (I do a
Ctrl-Alt-Del and see it ). I've run msconfig and disabled it but it still
comes alive. I even ran XP setup and supposedly uninstalled it but it's
still there. I'm getting extremely tired at having to do a Ctrl-Alt-Del
numerous times to disable it only to have it enable itself seconds later.
What's the trick to truly disabling ands/or getting rid of this thing???

Many Thanks In Advance
