You can close Windows Messenger by opening the Task Manager, clicking the Processes tab and ending the program named 'msmsgs.exe' alternatively, to stop Windows Messenger from running when your computer starts, click on your start menu and click Run then type in 'msconfig' (without the quotes) then click on the startup tab and look for the program msmsgs.exe then untick the box next to it and save the changes. Beware though, some Msn Messenger features require Windows Messenger to be running in order to be used e.g. Remote Assistance, you should only stop the program starting if this is not a problem to you.
