Default Prevent Messenger from running

You also tried this:

http://sniptools.com/vault/uninstall...-messenger.htm

There's no need to 'mess around' in the registry yourself. I also recently
re-installed the OS from scratch (comparable situation as yours). I also
got this annoying and stupid MSN program, but by using the tip given on the
site above, I could kick out (with pleasure) this completely redundant,
processor eating, useless, time consuming piece of amusement software...

I'm happy now and not disturbed anymore by those lunatics who are annoying
other people with this silly kind of programs...

Hi! I tried the registry fixes suggested in an earlier post, and also
unchecking the options to automatically log on to messenger and show the
contacts pane. Unless I did something wrong, why does the messenger
icon still appear in the system tray and why does ctrl-alt-delete show
msmsgs as a running process? I have a new computer with the latest
version of IE and Outlook Express 6.
