Try this..

Go to C:\Windows\inf\ (its a hidden folder)

Find sysoc.inf

Find this line.. "msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7"

You want to remove the "hide" from that line

Then go to control panel > Add/Remove Progs > Add/Remove Windows Components and scroll down to find Windows messenger and untick it.

This is one of the first things I do every time I re-install XP. I hate messenger with a passion. Not 100% sure if this will work after a user has been setup on it though.
