It keeps popping up. It doesn't connect because I disabled that in the
options but I don't want the msn messenger to even start when I launch OE.
 
You can find the option box in the Tools->options

or the second way is

type this command in the command box "gpedit.msc" you can find the
the Messager function here and you can disable the MSN start

Yes, Since I don't use it, then I also have removed it
(Messenger). The below trick should also works. Create
a file with extension REG and with the following contens:

REGEDIT4
; Skip Messenger in WinXP (PC Planet nr 22 2002 side 47).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\
Client]
"PreventRun"=dword:00000001
