Default How do I keep IM from loading

The Windows Instant Messenger (XP Pro) icon shows up in the systray waiting
for me to sign in. I can find it nowhere in the startup items (Mike Lin's
startup control panel addin or msconfig). In services Messenger (which isn't
related as I understand it) is disabled. Where is this thing being given
permission to load?

Thanks.

ColBlip.

Open Windows Messenger. Go into its preferences.
