windows messenger

[Peter]

Does anyone know why windows messenger loads itself when I startup? I didn't
start windows messenger and started getting messages the other day. I don't
even use windows messenger. I use msn messenger. I removed it from the add
remove windows component feature in the control panel. I guess it's still in
there. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks

Pierre
