How did you disable Windows Messenger? If you just unchecked the box
that said "log me in when Windows starts" & the other boxes, it is
still working. It is a very deceitful integrated part of Windows XP.

There are ways to really disable it. It isn't as simple as unchecking
any boxes, either in Windows Messenger or in
add-remove\windows-components.
