Could someone please tell me how to remove MSN Messenger from Windows
XP? This is frustrating the heck out of me! I have gone into msconfig
and have removed it several times. After I remove it from Startup in
msconfig, the system reboots and it is not in my system tray, but then
it will be selected in Startup in msconfig again!! I have removed
Windows .NET Framework, but still Messenger keeps coming up!
