To add Windows Live Messenger button to Internet Explorer toolbar, use the REG file available at the bottom of this page.

Open Internet Explorer, right-click the standard toolbar and choose Customize. Add Windows Live Messenger to the Current toolbar buttons listing so that the newly added button is displayed.

it does not work in IE7 sorry
Editor's note: This works fine in IE7. You need to customize the Command Bar in order to show the Messenger icon.

I realise it is not what you intended, but writing "No" into "Default Visible" under "HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerExtensions{FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683}" disables the button nicely.
I searched high and low for this, and your reg file pointed me towards the solution I needed.
