I would like to elaborate little bit more as I was also facing similar
problem as by Jean-Marie. Jean-Marie, check where your differ:
1. Windows Messenger (WM) came with my desktop installed.
2. I wanted to remove it before installing Live Messenger (LM). So I looked
in "Add / Remove Programs", it is not there. So I couldn't remove it.
3. I right clicked on the tray icon. There was no option to "uninstall".
4. I went ahead and installed LM, hoping that its installer will remove WM.
At least that's how WM and MSN Messenger behaved earlier.
5. Nope, the LM installer didn't remove WM.
6. So I right clicked on its tray icon and exited.
7. Then I rebooted. WM has not started. Now only LM works.
8. BUT THE "WM" IS STILL IN START->ALL PROGRAMS. That disturbs me. Why can't
I remve it completely? Why should I bear its remanants? How can I remove it?
I don't know what will happen if I run it accidentally. With so many
problems that I am now facing with my machine, I don't dare to touch
something unnecessarily. Of couse, I can take informed and calculated risk.
Any help?
ThanQ...

Hello, I have been trying to remove this thing but unsuccessfully,
"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\Inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove "
Does not work, whenever I start my PC messenger is in the tray, not in
my list of programs or in the control panel or in the start section of
msconfig. Can someone please help and thanks very much in advance.
P.S. I am french speaking but cannot post in the french newsgroup
because when I click on "new" question nothing happens,in other words
no box appears as is the case here and I do not know where to go to
fix that problem.
If it is running in the tray, open it - there is an option to start
automatically - turn this off.
