Messenger logging in on Outlook Express

I'm having trouble w/ Windows Messenger logging in by itself while I'm using
Outlook Express. I have the settings in Outlook's options menu so that
Messenger doesn't log in automatically...but it's doing it
anyway...sometimes. It's really frustrating because I like to leave my
email browser open in case new mail arrives but then I end up getting
instant messages from friends when I don't want to. I'm beginning to think
that my only option is to remove Messenger all together but I hate to do
that because I do use it. Is there anything else to do that I haven't
tried? I see no option in Messenger itself to halt the problem. Any ideas
are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
