How to keep Windows Messenger from launching on OE Open

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I use MSN Messenger and would permanantly disable Windows messenger.
Everytime I launch Outlook Express the WM opens and signs in screwing up my
MSN Messenger. This just started happening. How do I keep Windows Messenger
from opening period?

It was already unchecked.

That is why I am so unpuzzled. It shouldn't be loading at all.
