If u hate msn messenger popping up on your computer all the time but you haven't been able to remove it (it is intentionally hidden from your add/delete program list), try this.


close all windows and email programs before you do this, and then right click the little green man icon and hit exit.


Click on START, click on RUN, then copy/paste the line below into the open window:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Click on OK.

Wait for a moment and MSN Messenger will be uninstalled. The first time u reboot, u might have a message asking if you really want to uninstall. Just click ok.

I hate msn messenger. I used to have several buddies on there I would chat with, but it got to be such a pain. The computer would bleep if I forgot to turn it off then people would think u were ignoring them. The later versions have tied themselves in with outlook express, and it is just like a neverending virus that won't leave. These steps above will get rid of it for good.

I have Messenger 6.1 which I use and like, but my problem is that every now and again, Messenger 4.x pops up when I open certain items. This logs me out of 6.1 which pisses me off.

Any thoughts on this situation?

IAH
use trillian, it allows you to chat with various IM sources, lean XML client with minimal overhead.
