JD;
See if any of this helps.

[[1. Go to Messenger/Tools/Options and uncheck "Run this program when
Windows starts" on the Preferences tab.
2. In Outlook Express, Tools/Options/General tab and uncheck the option to
automatically log on, if it's there.
3. Also in Outlook Express, View/Layout and uncheck the option to display
Contacts. The program will open a connection and display a list of all
Contacts on line if you do not.
4. Startup Folder. Make sure no entry there for Messenger.
5. Go to Start/Run, and type Msconfig. On the Startup tab , uncheck any
option for it.
6. If you are using NAV 2003, disable Instant Messenger monitoring.
This little check list ought to work in dissociating MSN from Outlook
Express, so that it'll only start up if you really want it to.
If it doesn't, here's a reg tweak that will do so on all operating systems,
without actually uninstalling MSN, which may not be what you want:

from Outlook Express
If all else fails, shut down MSN Messenger, go to your Program Files\MSN
Messenger directory, and rename Msgsc.dll to Msgsc.bak]]
