Do not use:
* "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"-method
as these methods will cripple other parts of the OS; MSN Messenger and some Plus!-plugins will not work 100% anymore (Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, Application Sharing, Song2Nick-plugin, etc...)
* "editing sysoc.inf"-method
as these methods will only remove the icon from the start menu and doesn't do a thing in preventing the startup of Windows Messenger...
strange, i always used both methods and never had any problems with msnmsg/windows itself.

sysoc.inf is needed to uninstall win msg from add/remove win components and it DOES prevent its startup.
I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger
