Hello,

I wish to remove MS Messenger from an XP Pro PC.

I have searched on the web, and found 2 methods:

1. Involves using a run line command with a "remove"

2. Involves removing the "hide" text in a sysoc.inf file

Method 2 then gives you the option to use add/remove
it in Windows components.

Is method 2 the preferred/best option?

Many Thanks - David - UK
