O.P. RE: Removing ad's?
Actually yes, she really liked the original Windows Messenger, well the one that came with XP-Pro was very clean, no ad's or banners (my motto) and it worked well, with the exception of emoticons were crude.

Keep in mind this is an older version of XP-PRO, If I remember right it was XP-PRO ver2002 (build 2800) but they forced an update to one that was cluttered with flashy ads and bells and whistles she dont use.

I guess it makes since for security to mandate a update but atleast dont force advertising, I paid almost $700 CAN for my virgin windows at the time, and its not right to do that to customers that fork out that much and respect copyright laws.

I was looking through the registry for a way to disable the update checker, so I can get rid of that "A Newer verison is available" thats constantly at the top of the messenger window, if anyone knows a way please let me know.

Well thanks again ppl.
