I installed windows messenger a couple of months ago, but I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know how I can delete this?

Click on the start button and select control panel, then click on the add or remove programs applet and it should give you the option to uninstall from there.
Alternatively, if messenger does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. In order for it to show up there, you must first edit the file named sysoc.inf. This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder (or in some cases the winnt folder, depending on how your OS was installed). You can open that file in notepad. Look for the following line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry, msmsgs.inf,hide,7 and remove the word "hide" while leaving the commas on place. Close and save the file, and then open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, so that you can remove it like any other program.
