Make Messenger go away. [Archive]

How do I make Messenger go away? I don't use it and I don't like things running in the tray unless I use them.

I went to "Add / Remove Windows Components" and it was removed. However when I open Outlook it is still there. It seems that it is tied to Outlook.

Thanks,

Bart

Good advice if that service is not needed. However it is not related to the
messaging programs, Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger.
