Removing Windows Messenger

Windows Messenger on your puter can maybe sign in on startup or log you out of Msn Messenger. Here`s a couple of ways of removing Windows Messenger from your computer
I`ve used the first one after reinstallation of XP and it`s always worked. :D

1

Click on Start.
Click on Run.
Copy and paste this line into the box: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%INFmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

You’ll get a prompt at the beginning of the process warning you to exit the program and make sure it isn’t running. You’ll get another one afterwards showing that it’s indeed gone.

The default location for Windows Messenger is C:Program FilesMessenger. When XP wants to fire up Messenger it will try and access the files at the default location. To prevent Messenger from loading, just rename the Messenger folder to something new; ie: MessengerOLD. If you want to use Messenger at some point down the road, simply rename the folder to Messenger and you’re back in business.
