Start -> Run, copy and paste this command (without the quotes):
"RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"
Windows Messenger would bre removed after the command finishes running, this is by far the simplest method.
Icurrently have mine disabled, not sure if true but I have heard that removal effects outlook,
