Go to Start>Run>Regedit>OK. Find and delete the
following Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER

To totally disable it, (SP2 Only):
If you want to disable Windows Messenger completely, use the Manage Add-on
feature. Open IE - Hold Alt - Tap T and A. Disable Windows Messenger. It can
be enabled in the future should you want to.
