Greetings Morten,

If you mean you want to use the latest version of MSN Messenger, and prevent Windows
Messenger from starting, do the following -- open up the main Windows Messenger window,
click Tools, Options, Preferences tab and uncheck 'Run this program when Windows starts'.
This won't stop it from being loaded by some other application though. As well, you can
disable it further by going to Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Add/Remove
Windows Components on the left, uncheck Windows Messenger in the components list and click
Next >. Note: this is only available if you've installed Windows XP Service Pack 1 -- if you
haven't, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. This won't remove Windows Messenger, but
it will let it stay out of your way, and allow MSN Messenger to work properly.

Messenger.
