The Do not automatically start Windows Messenger initially machine setting should be configured correctly.
Windows Messenger is automatically loaded and running when a user logs on to a Windows XP computer. You can use this setting to stop Windows Messenger from automatically being run at logon. If you enable this setting, Windows Messenger will not be loaded automatically when a user logs on. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Windows Messenger will be loaded automatically at logon.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Messenger\Do not automatically start Windows Messenger initially
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client\PreventAutoRun
