Uninstall MSN. It's in the add/remove section of Control Panel, Windows stuff, Online services.

It's buried in "Online Services".
The other option is to run through the setup.
If I remember, there's an option to disable it.
Other option: Start > Run > msconfig
Turn it off.

Go to Add/Remove Programs. Look on the side bar for "Add/Remove Windows Components." You'll find it there. It may prompt you to put in the windows os cd.
