Re: Hide/Remove Instant Messenger from my user account

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Cathy,

Check Start > All Programs > Startup. If IM is there, right-click it
and click on Delete. It's ok to delete it since it's only a
shortcut. It will also stop IM from popping up when you log into your
account...
