I've been to options..I unclick 2 things so it doesn't
run..But yet...Soon as i open Outlook..I'm online and
people are messenging me..Can someone make it go away?
 
Greetings,

To stop this behavior, for Outlook 2003, click the Tools menu in Outlook, then choose
Options, choose the Other tab, uncheck "Enable the Person Names Smart Tag" and click OK.

For Outlook 2002/XP, open Outlook, click the Tools menu, then Options, then the Other tab,
and uncheck 'Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook'.

For Outlook Express, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:

Alternatively, You can completely remove Windows Messenger (4.7) but if you do, you will be
preventing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, and Application Sharing from working. However, if
you don't use this functionality that would be disabled by removing Messenger, you can simply
remove it by closing down Messenger if it's running (right click the messenger icon in the
notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the start button, then click Run
and type in (copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,

I had the same problem. I tried everything and the only
thing that worked for me was to go into control
panel<user accounts and choose the account you are
using. Once you select, under "related tasks"
choose "manage my network passwords". Remove the
passport passwords and sign in manually each time you
want to use messenger.
 
Lo primero que haremos será dirigirnos a Inicio/Ejecutar... e introducir el comando «gpedit.msc». Esta orden inicia el editor de políticas de grupo, el recurso brindado por el sistema operativo para definir este tipo de operaciones. Ahora, nos dirigiremos a Directiva Equipo local/Configuración del equipo/Plantillas administrativas/Componentes de Windows/Windows Messenger. A continuación, haremos doble clic sobre la línea de configuración No permitir que se ejecute Windows Messenger y nos dirigiremos a la pestaña Configuración. Para concluir, haremos clic en el radio button que reza Habilitada para que esta directiva entre en vigor. Si en el futuro quisiéramos recuperar la capacidad de ejecutar Messenger, únicamente será necesario iniciar nuevamente el editor de políticas de grupo y activar en esa ocasión la opción Deshabilitada de la pestaña Configuración
