I'm running XP Home on my laptop. I've never used MS Messenger and in fact

Recently, I had to download and install some MS updates and found Messenger
still on there. I went to Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs->Add/Remove
Windows Components and discovered that indeed, Windows thinks I have
uninstalled Messenger. I even tried installing and then uninstalling it
again to no avail.

Now, I know someone here will be able to show me how to finally get rid of
Messenger. I'm also assuming it's appearence after I had uninstalled it was
the work of a later "update". (I suspect net. framework 1 or 2, but I could
be wrong. The installation of Net. framework also made it impossible for me
to use the autologon feature. Since I never needed it before and didn't know
what use I derived from it, I uninstalled both net. framework 1 and 2.) I
still can't enable the autologon even though I downloaded TweakUI. So I
guess I have two problems. Any help? Other than Linux?


Use "Set Program Access and Defaults" to hide either or both Messengers (MSN or Windows) as I'm not sure which you're referring to.
