What's the difference between MSN Messenger and Microsoft Messenger?

I remember getting XP for the first time a few years back, and having that annoying thing pop up constantly. It was especially annoying while playing a game, it would minimize the game immediatley back to the desktop. I got rid of that bastard program for good, I believe I found a way to shut the damned thing down in the registry. Im sure if you did a search you could find the same thing I found.

i disabled it as well from start up but it sometimes pops up when running IE or something.

taking it off of start up from msconfig did it for me
