Hello Vern,
As far as I know, Windows 7 does not come with Live Messenger by default.
I think you selected Windows Live Messenger (and possibly other Windows Live software) when installing Windows Live Mail.
You should be able to uninstall the Windows Live Messenger:
Go to the Start Menu-Control Panel-Programs and features- and uninstall it.

- you can stop it from loading automatically via the start-up option in "msconfig"..
- it's also one of the options under the messenger's "tools":

Call me dumb but I can't find the "tools" for messenger. I've clicked on everything about the stupid program that lets me do it but I'm having no such luck finding it. I'm going to try msconfig, maybe I'll have better luck with that.

Windows Live Messenger Uninstall
I have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. I tried Zap Messenger, & it did the complete removal of Windows Live Messenger. Hope this info helps someone!

to remove Messenger, go to the Control Panel and select Programs and Features
in the list, select Windows Live Essentials and then click on the Change/Remove option..
..opt to uninstall when the choice box appears, and you'll be given the list of programs that come with Live Essentials
- select Messenger from the list and proceed to uninstall - the remaining Live Essential programs will be unaffected..

If you are removing it I recommend revo uninstaller. It is freeware and very good at it's job and will scan for leftovers when removal is complete.
