There are two steps that I did to stop my messenger from
loading whenever I open outlook express. First is to
disable messenger from starting on windows startup. On
the Messenger display window, go to
tools>options>preferences and uncheck the start messenger
when windows starts feature. Next step is to open Outlook
Express and click tools>options>general and uncheck the
Automatically log into messenger feature. Whenever you
start your machine, messenger will not load after these
steps are preformed, but when you open outlook express,
messenger will load, but will not sign in. Messenger is a
vital part to XP and this is the only way that I have
found around it. If anyone else has suggestions, Please
post
 
You can disable it permanently with the Policy editor.
Run gpedit.msc. Look for Messenger and disable it. This
stopped MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger conflicting on
my PC.

You can see if windows messenger is running on your pc.
Look for msmsgs.exe in the task list.
