Hello Grbnike,

You can use the tutorial below to search the registry for "Messenger" (no quotes), then delete any results it finds for it to help remove all traces of it in the registry.

Registry Editor - Find and Find Next

To be extra safe though, I would recommend that you create a System Restore Point before doing this in case you delete something by mistake and it messes Vista up. This way you can do a System Restore to that restore point to undo what you did.

System Restore Point - create

Hope this helps,
Shawn
