Hi there...
To remove Messenger:
Simply delete the following Registry Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MSMSGS
Uninstall Messenger
You have to edit sysoc.inf (located in /WINDOWS/inf). Under [Components]
you should see the following line:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7. Take the word 'hide' out of
the line, and it should look like this:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7. Exit and save.
Go to Add or Remove Programs, and click on Add/Remove Windows
Components. There you should now be able to uncheck the MSN Messenger
Service, and by clicking Next it will uninstall.
And here is the tip for making sure Messenger is removed from Outlook
Express as well:
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Value Name: Hide
Messenger, Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value), Value Data: (2 = remove
messenger). Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value,
called 'Hide Messenger' and set the value to 2.
Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for
the change to take effect.
Take Care...
