How can I remove MSM Messenger

[Gard]

Go to, Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and simply select it and click uninstall.

..mm....not sure that you can actually remove it as it is part of Windows........You can go to Add/Remove Programs and click on the icon to Add/Remove Windows Components then uncheck the appropriate box...........That's WinXP.

It is a persistant little devil and often comes back but if you are happy doing a bit of tinkering. I am assuming XP.
Click START
Click RUN
type in the space msconfig
Click OK
Click the Startup tab
Uncheck the Command Line for msn messenger
You will be prompted to restart
You will get a message asking if you want to be prompted on each start up so select that you dont.

Hope this helps. Come back if you dont understand

Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger have always been a source of confusion to me and most people
I am not sure if SP1 and SP2 have addressed this but prior to these this is what you did to remove it

Goto the Windows Directory in Explorer Ensure you can see hidden and system files.
Find sysoc.inf file
Open
Find
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
remove hide and nothing else.
Save, close and now you can remove it in Add Remove Windows Components in Control Panel

Anyone like to advise further on this ?
