If you locked your Messenger by accident and don't know how to get it back, look for a new icon in your notification area (bottom right, by the clock). It usually looks like a grey disk with tubes/pipes underneath. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see 'Windows Live Messenger'. Double click this icon to bring your Messenger back.
It looks like a network drive icon, the XP ones like you see in My Computer.... Well that is what I get on here, it may vary for you. Hover over each icon in the system tray (next to the clock) and see which one says it's Windows Live Messenger.
