Unfortunately, I now have Windows NT 5.1 running.

My work machine with NT 5.0 crashed so they gave me a new one and it
contains 5.1. It also has office XP.

For some reason, this program - Windows Messenger - keeps popping up
whenever I log into Outlook. I tried looking in the add/remove
programs to get rid of this thing but can't seem to find it. (I
currently use Trillian Pro for IM needs.)

I've googled for a solution but not found anything.

How do I get rid of this? Is there an uninstall or should I just
remove some EXE and DLL files?

BTW: Nice article on slashdot abotu OO vs. Office XP.
