MSN messenger is a curse apoun all users{just for the record}
i believe the way mentined before, will only keep you from being bothered by messenger. i believe the service still loads, on startup, which tasks resources, and time.
startout by going under administratie tools, and select computer managment, on the left side br there should be a a link to services, under their there will be a sercive caalled messenger. this sercive is upposedly used by outlook, outlook express, and msn explorer. i do not know for sure for i've un-instaled all of them. if you uses these other programs u should just rename the messenger folder, and described ealier.
now on to the fun
now right click on the messenger service, and select stop, then right click it again and select properties, and disable the service. Now goto C:\windows\inf {the folder'inf' is a hidden file, so you will need to go to tools, and select folder options, and make sure view hidden folders is unchecked, and hide protected operating system files is un-checked. inside the inf folder their will be a file called sysco. this file should look something like this
[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7
Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7
NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7
dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7
IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7
TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2
msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6
ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7
fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7
AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
WMAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wmaccess.inf,,7
RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7
IEAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,ieaccess.inf,,7
OEAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,oeaccess.inf,,7
WMPOCM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wmpocm.inf,,7
now this is the line we are intrested in
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
notice how their is a hide towards the end
we want it to look more like this
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7
it is very important that you leave the ,, in place and only remove the hide
now under the add/remove programs their will be a new icon below the msn messenger. it is going to ac like a bitch but unclick it andremove them, and restart. if it is still their, try again ....
,good luck, and happy hunting,
bluegeek out
