1... Click Start --%26gt; Run --%26gt; Type regedit and hit ENTER


2. Now Go here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi...


Note: If the key is cut off, hover your mouse over it to see full location of registry key.


3. Delete the Messenger key.

Reply:wow, lots of answers, here's a shorter one...


rename the folder that the program resides in, that way when your puter boots up, it can't find the exe and won't start, but you'll still be able to use it whenever you want. Just change the icon on your start menu to the new folder name by editing it's properties. Pretty easy and it worx!
