Go to your Messenger folder (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger, might be different depending on your version) and find msimg32.dll, rename it to something else, like msimg32.dll2.

msimg32.dll is a file added by Messenger Plus!, it takes care of loading Plus! whenever Live Messenger starts, renaming or deleting it will stop Plus! from loading.

That way, no part of Messenger Plus! will be loaded when you start Messenger. To enable it again, just rename the file to msimg32.dll again.

(relevant thread: Disable Plus! Temporarily)

Shut down WLM completly

If you have WLM 8.5, go to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
For 8.1:
C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger

Find the file msimg32.dll
rename the file extension to something to something other than .dll

Restart WLM

Or, provided that you have Messenger Plus! Live version 4.50+, enter the properties of Windows Live Messenger's shortcut, from which you launch Messenger (right click>Properties), add /PlusEnabled=0 at the end of the path written in the Target field in the properties window. Example:

code:

---

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /PlusEnabled=0

---

Note the space before /Plus...
