If you are using WinXP you can go to control pannel, on
the left hand window pane select add remove windows
components. Scroll to the bottom windows messenger
should be listed, uncheck the box and messenger will be
uninstalled. I believe uninstalling windows messenger
will disable remote assistance and remote desktop.
