How do I get rid of....

[Jodo]

Windows Messenger?
I don't use Windows Messenger, I use MSN Messenger 6.1.
I've removed Windows Messenger from the Windows program list but it still pops up when I use Outlook, IE and Media Player in a window asking if I want to upgrade to the latest version. I know that I need to delete something but don't know what, but I do know I tried to delelte something ages ago and it wouldn't let me.
Anybody know?

find and rename the exe works for me :)

There are options in the likes of Outlook to switch off the auto start of MSN

Have a search around and you'll find it!
