you mean the system popups? If so Start-Run type services.msc and scroll tot he messenger service. right click and select properties, then disabled in the pull down menu. then stop the service and it will trouble you no more.

If you have service pack 1 it will allow you to uninstall such programs as msn messanger. Microsoft had to do this because of some court order but all you have to do is go to add/remove programs in the control and then click on add/remove windows components and unselect msn messanger.

Put this in and reboot. Messenger will be gone forever.

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

from another thread... next time try doing a search, there had to be like 10 threads that have touched on this subject.

Hmm, maybe it's a startup thing, go to run and then type in msconfig.

Not to take away from everybodies thunder, but you can to into windows setup and uninstall it, it is in there I've seen it.
