If MSN Messenger isn't observing the restriction, then you can only prevent it by disallowing the application.

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/969/

This type of restriction can also be accomplished, on a per user basis, with the licensed version of a utility I created. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console.
