Not in my case, got new PC, all I did was install WM5 and go to the options
and take off the first two options on the General tab and it no longer comes
up when OE is loaded, even with the contact pane up.

Just a thought, do you have the contacts pane enabled? This will fire up
Windows messenger if you do.

Uncheck the contacts pane in the view options and you should be able to
supress WMessenger.

Good luck
