Answer 1

If you are referring to Yahoo! messenger, when Messenger starts, click "Messenger" "Preferences" "General" and remove the checkmark from "Automatically start messenger"

Answer 2

if you are talking about windows live messenger or msn messenger then you can in tools options tab general

prevent messendger to start at login.

if you use the original internet messenger , and this one does not have that option consider uninstalling it and install windows live messenger
