Sammy,

Prevent Windows Messenger from Running on a Windows XP-Based Computer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302089

Disable/Remove Windows Messenger:

If you prefer to remove Windows Messenger manually, click Start, Run and enter the following command:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Note: This will cause a long delay when opening Outlook Express if you have the Contacts pane enabled. To prevent this, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Right click in the right pane and select New, Dword value. Give it the name Hide Messenger Double click this new entry and set the value to 2.

Sammy,
Another way to stop messenger from starting in your tray
ist to go to start, run, type in msconfig and then click
on 'selective startup'. From there, click on startup and
uncheck msnmsgr.

Easiest way is just to double click it in the tray and go to Tools | Options
and uncheck 'start with windows' and 'run in background'.
