I find the following works much better in keeping windows messenger from running...

Into a Start \ Run dialog box the copy and paste the following line

rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

I have unchecked Microsoft Messenger from the start up tab in msconfig yet everytime my machine starts, this program, Microsoft Messenger loads/runs. I don't want Microsoft Messenger running all the time but cannot stop it. Any advice? It isn't listed by that specific name in the Services area of msconfig either.
