Hello. We bought a new Dell computer running XP Home Edition last
week.

Is it possible to uninstall Windows Messenger? I don't use the
program, and it keeps popping up. I don't see Messenger listed in my
Add/Remove programs list, which led me to think that Microsoft had
designated it an indispensable tool, such as Internet Explorer. However, I
find that hard to believe.

Update to last post. I wasn't able to uninstall Messenger, but I
did figure out how to disable it from starting at boot up by going into the
Options area.

Close your contact list in Outlook Express.

You could always try:

Open OE
Tools | Options | General
Uncheck "open windows messenger"
