Angry Fire msn messenger won't exit!

i get this message when i try to exit messenger: "there are other applications currently using features provided by msn messenger. you must close these other applications before you can exit msn messenger. these applications may include outlook, outlook express, msn, msn explorer, and internet explorer. "

this pisses me off because a: i don't have any of those applications open, and b: i don't want to be forced to keep messenger on my taskbar when i'm not using it. is there a way around this? i have version 5. i wish i had a way earlier version because messenger has been pissing me off more with each new version. -Reuben

Send a message via ICQ to RJ
If you want to completely remove messenger:

start > run

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%INFmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Send a message via MSN to Sauron Send a message via Yahoo to Sauron
I have 4.6, and I got the file as well, if you want it, give me your ICQ or something to share it with you. If MSN, my email is Hannibal881@hotmail.com

Sam - just stop and disable the Messenger service. No more messenger popups.
