XP Home and MSN Explorer

Comment:
Just recently installed XP Home edition with Service Pack 1. Sometimes when I attempt to access a website using IE6, MSN Explorer will open asking me to sign in. If I kill the window, then I seem to be "offline" and unable to connect to any site.
I do not use MSN as my ISP! I want to keep Microsoft Messenger, but this MSN Explorer is ticking me off! How can I get rid of it, and keep Messenger?

Thanks for the reply.
I had already checked there. MSN Explorer is not listed in Add/Remove programs.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again!

You have to click the 'Add/Remove Windows Components' button on the left side in Add/Remove programs window. This will bring up a list of pre-installed 'components'. If u now untick MSN Explorer it will offer to remove it 4 u :)
