Hello!
Start/Run and type in
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%
\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Hit ok and it should do it.
If that gives you problems, follow the info on the link
below.

The MSN Messenger program (and the inbuilt Windows Messenger Instant
messaging) are not related *at all* to the Messenger service

If you mean *MSN* messenger, which you downloaded, then there should be
an Uninstall for it in Add/Remove Programs.

If you mean the very similar, but different, Windows Messenger that
comes with the system, then in its own Tools - Options uncheck the 'load
when windows starts', and in outlook express
1: Tools - Options uncheck 'Logon to Messenger'
2. IN View - Layout uncheck Contacts
