Windows live messenger is tracking me

I was deleting my browsing history and noticed that after I had deleted all my cookies, 4 new cookies came out without me even doing anything. I deleted them again and they popped up again. I figured that it had to be a program that I was running so I closed Windows Live Messenger and the cookies stopped. The next day when I turned on my computer, I went to the browsing history just to see if the cookies were gone and they were there again. Somehow when WLM is opened, it automatically puts these cookies in my browsing history. Can somebody tell me how to stop WLM from doing this other than not using WLM. Thank you in advance.
The cookies that come out are as follows: Cookie:hp_owner@live.com/ Cookie:hp_owner@msn.com/ Cookie:hp_owner@windowsmarketplace.com/ Cookie:hp_owner@zune.net/
