Microsoft messenger for mac

Hi, just installed microsoft messenger for my macbook pro, when I click on the messenger icon on the dock it always brings up ad microsoft messenger icon on the desktop and the only option I have to get rid of it is eject once I have quit messenger.
How do I stop it putting the icon on the desktop? other programs don't do this!

Many Thanks
Martin

I have uninstalled and deleted it all, now I have downloaded it again and clicked on the downloaded file.
I get a window with 2 options a picture of the messenger icon with an arrow to a picture of the applications folder.

What should I click now?

Cheers

Right, I have done this. dragged it across and opened it from the messenger icon in the applications folder. it appears on the dock but once i have quit it disappears. I then go to find it in the applications folder and there is the button but with a piece of paper and an error sign as the icon

I double click this and messenger loads as it should and the messenger icon reappears in the dock.

So my new problem is getting the messenger icon to stay put!
