You stated that you don't even want to use messenger? And don't want the annoyance
of it...then do what I did. Simply rename your messenger folder located in your program
files. Original name is messenger I believe. Rename it to anything you want. Ex.
messenger sucks. But don't delete it, that can mess things up. By changing the name,
the computer simply dosen't know where it is and wont load it or try to log you in!
Hope that works for you, it did for me!
