Dear Maggie, If you want to disable Windows Messenger from Outlook 2002 you should be able to find the relevant controls in Options under the Tools menu. This is a multi-page dialogue box so to move from one page to another you press control tab. The last "page" is called something like "miscellaneous" (I use the Italian version so the translation might not be precise).It should have something about message or messenger services if you tab down it which would allow you to deactivate Windows Messenger. The options may well be different in other versions of Outlook or Outlook Express.
