Fire up regedit and goto

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Look for a DWORD Value named 'Hide Messenger', if you do not have it then create by:

Goto Edit-> New-> DWORD Value

Name this 'Hide Messenger', Make sure you have a space between the 2 words and don't include the quotes.

Double click on Hide Messenger and change the 0 to a 2.

Now start Outlook, if all went well messenger should not have started, but you can still run it manually.

In outlook XP, click Tools -> Options -> Others

then at the bottom is the 'Enable Instant Messaging.....' checkbox. Uncheck it, then Instant Messenget won't load with Outlook anymore.
